The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a mid-19th century building that has been altered and extended in the 20th century. It was originally a rectory and is now divided into three houses. The structure features roughly coursed sandstone rubble walls and a gable-ended slate roof, with two axial rubble stacks and one front lateral rubble stack that has octagonal brick shafts. There is also a rendered lateral stack, likely made of rubble, at the side of the front wing.

The building has a complex and irregular plan, with kitchen and service rooms at the left end, a dining room next to it with a wing in front, a stair hall to the right, and a drawing room at the right-hand end. The drawing room was extended at the rear in the 20th century, and a substantial addition was built in front of the left-hand end.

The exterior is two storeys high with an attic and features an irregular front. The left-hand end includes a large two-storey flat-roofed addition. There is a gabled wing that projects at the centre, with a tall arched stair window to its right, and a gabled porch that has a chamfered four-centred arched doorway with a plank door behind it. The original front windows are mid-20th century metal-framed casements. The right-hand end wall has a bay window on the ground floor, and behind this end of the house is a brick addition from the 20th century, with the original rear wing beyond it.

Inside, the building has been much altered, but the central part remains accessible and retains a decorative ceiling band in its principal room.
