Description
The Old Rectory is a former rectory and detached house, likely dating from the mid to late 18th century, with later 20th-century restoration and alterations. The west front is built of ashlar on a plinth, set against a core of random coursed rubble with quoins at the rear. It has a flat, unseen metalled roof behind a parapet wall, and stone end stacks with swept-up parapets.
The main structure is a square two-storey range, with a single-storey rear wing likely from the 19th century, covered with stone slate. A projecting, pedimented ashlar porch stands on the north side, featuring a door of six fielded panels. Above the door is a Palladian motif, possibly from the 20th century, incorporating a central niche. The west front has two two-storey canted bays, each with three 12-pane sashes. A central 12-pane sash sits above a half-glazed door with a transom light, approached by two stone steps. Plat bands run above both window levels. The right return side has 12 and 16-pane sashes in plain reveals, alongside one blocked and one new plain stone doorway.
A large Palladian window on the rendered rear wall illuminates the stairway and hall, which features a stone flag floor and a fine cantilevered moulded stone staircase with a wreathed and ramped handrail on an iron balustrade. Significant internal joinery remains, along with some plasterwork, particularly on the first floor above the hall.
