Description
The Old Rectory is a former vicarage built in 1810 for Revd. William Price, designed by Pace of Lechlade. The construction incorporated elements of an earlier building. The exterior is primarily rendered, with a slate roof and cream-coloured brick stacks. The building has a roughly rectangular plan, with a 19th-century main section and a possible earlier wing to the north.
The garden front is symmetrical, featuring three windows and originally having two 20-pane sashes on the ground floor, and 12-pane sashes to the first floor. The right-hand return displays similar window arrangements. A narrow band of dressed limestone runs between the ground and first floors on the garden front and right-hand return. The service wing, set back on the right, has 20th-century casement windows; single-light and two-light to the service wing's ground floor, and 12-pane sashes above. The roadside front features a flat-roofed entrance hall and porch with a 19th-century six-panel door, decorative panelling, and flanking single-light windows. The main body of the building has a hipped roof with a central stack, while the service wing features an axial stack.
Inside, the original staircase is a notable feature, constructed with geometrical stick balusters and a wreathed handrail. The doorways retain original reeded architraves.
