The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a former rectory, now a private house, dating possibly from the late 16th or early 17th century. Constructed of coursed rubble stone with a stone slate roof, it features a very large stone ridge stack with diagonally-set large ashlar flues to the left of centre. The main range is one-and-a-half storeys with an attic, and there is a single-storey rear extension, likely from the early 20th century, and a 19th-century two-storey extension now forming No. 15. Originally, each of the three cross gables contained one window on each floor. Each gable has a two-light stone mullion window with a square hoodmould on the ground floor, with a three-light similar window on the first floor, featuring an inserted 19th-century two-light stone mullion between the centre and right. On the ground floor, the facade has an original three-light window to the left, followed by three 2-light C19 stone mullion and transom windows to the centre, a plank door within a stone Tudor arch with a square hoodmould, and an adjacent short four-light stone mullion and transom window with a square hoodmould to the right – all of this ground floor work is from the 19th century and incorporates relieving arches. The rear facade retains its original window arrangement. There’s a 19th-century two-storey canted bay on the southwest end. A newel stair is found directly behind the back door. The interior was not accessible at the time of listing, but is likely to be of interest.
