Description
The Old Rectory is a rectory that has been converted into a private house, dating from around the mid-19th century. It is constructed of limestone with an ashlar front and features a steeply pitched stone tile roof with stone coped gable ends. The building has stone axial stacks, some of which have multiple ashlar shafts.
The plan is double-depth, with a central stair hall and a study to the south. The principal rooms are located on the east garden front, while service rooms are on the north side. The architectural styles reflect both Tudor and Georgian influences.
The exterior is two storeys with an attic and presents a symmetrical east garden front with three main bays, flanked by canted bays on either side. The gables are corbelled and feature oculi under hoodmoulds. The first floor has 12-pane sash windows, while the ground floor has 4-pane sashes. The central doorway is adorned with a moulded stone architrave, a pediment, and French casements. To the right, there is a single-storey service range set back, which includes stone mullion windows and a louvred ventilator on the ridge, along with a small courtyard behind that features a loggia. The west entrance front is also gabled and has asymmetrical fenestration with stone mullion windows and hoodmoulds, a tall stair window to the right of centre, and a gabled stone porch on the right that has a moulded four-centred arch doorway with a hoodmould.
The interior remains intact and complete, showcasing many original features such as encaustic tiles in the hall, a Jacobean style staircase, moulded ceiling cornices, moulded metal pelmets, panelled doors, and chimneypieces. Notably, there are three 18th-century panelled doors and an 18th-century chimneypiece in the drawing room. The property also includes a servants' staircase and exposed braced trusses in the attic.
