Rectory Farmhouse And Attached Barn And Outbuilding

Rectory Farmhouse, along with an attached barn and outbuilding, is a farmhouse dating from the mid-17th century and the late 18th to early 19th century. The barn is likely from the late 18th century, while the outbuilding dates to the 19th century. The farmhouse has a core made of limestone rubble from the 17th century, with the facade refaced in ashlar in the late 18th to early 19th century. The late 18th to early 19th century extensions are also made of ashlar and feature incised render on the right-hand gable ends. The roofing consists of stone slate and concrete tiles, with ashlar stacks.

The layout includes a single bay 17th-century core at the center of the domestic range, with single bay late 18th to early 19th-century extensions at each gable end. The extension on the right gable end projects forward from the main facade by one bay, while the barn and outbuilding are located successively at the left gable end. There is a lean-to greenhouse in front of the main body, but it is not of special interest.

The house facade is two stories and has an attic lit by a two-light roof dormer. There is a 20th-century canted bay at the front of the right-hand extension, while the other windows are 12-pane sashes with horns. A band runs between the ground and first floor windows. At the rear of the 17th-century core, there are two two-light stone-mullioned casements, one of which has a hood. A part-glazed 20th-century door leads to a late 18th to early 19th-century porch with a glazed roof, located to the left of the projecting bay at the front. The late 18th to early 19th-century extension to the right of the earlier core has a parallel gabled roof with flat coping to the gable ends. The gable end and axial stacks, including one twin stack, feature some moulded cappings.

The barn has a central projecting gabled porch with a lean-to on the left and double doors leading to the porch. There are three segmental-headed doorways to the outbuildings on the left. The interior of the house includes a vaulted stone cellar, which is not accessible, while the barn interior consists of three bays with simple collar and tie beam trusses.
