Description
The Old Rectory is a former rectory, likely built in the late 18th century or early 19th century, and remodeled in the mid-19th century. It features painted stuccoed stone rubble and has a hipped slate roof with deep bracketed eaves. There are rendered stacks at each end and a lateral stack on the outer face of the rear kitchen wing.
The building has a symmetrical plan with two principal rooms on either side of the entrance hall, and a principal staircase located in a two-storey outshut at the rear. This outshut connects to a kitchen wing on the right side, which has a short gabled service wing extending at right angles, enclosing the stack. A brick lean-to is present at the left end.
The exterior is two storeys high with a three-window range, including a central two-storey porch. The windows consist of 16-paned sashes above French windows on the left and a 24-paned sash on the right of the gabled porch. The porch features a Gothic pointed arched sash window with margin glazing bars above a similar doorway, which has intersecting glazing bars in the overlight and a six-panelled door, with the upper four panels being glazed. It appears that the porch was added later.
Inside, a chamfered cross ceiling beam in the rear kitchen suggests that older materials may have been incorporated during the late 18th or early 19th-century rebuilding. The two front principal rooms have been altered in the 20th century, but mid-19th-century joinery remains throughout. The plain staircase has stick balusters, and the principal bedrooms feature panelled ceilings.
