Description

Little Rissington House and flat, formerly known as The Old Rectory, is a former rectory that has been converted into a house. It dates from the late 18th century, with a slightly later extension added between 1812 and 1819, and further alterations made in the late 19th century and partly rebuilt in the mid-20th century. The main structure is built of ashlar stone, while the extensions are pebble-dashed. The main body has a stone slate roof, with some concrete tiles on the later extension, and features ashlar stacks.

The building has an 'L'-shaped main body consisting of two parallel ranges, with an early 19th-century extension on the right gable end and late 19th-century extensions on the left. It is two storeys high, with an attic and cellar. The facade has a flat-chamfered plinth and is three-windowed, featuring 16-pane sash windows with horns set within double-chamfered surrounds. A central part-glazed segmental-headed door from the 19th century is framed by a moulded surround with a keystone, accessed by two stone steps. To the left of the door is a small 9-pane top-opening window. A band runs between the floors.

The early 19th-century extension is continuous with the facade on the right, while the late 19th-century extension to the left has 4-pane sashes with horns that are set back and face the road. The upper floor of the early extension, added around 1964, has four 16-pane sashes with stopped hoods. The ground floor features large 8-pane cross-windows with roll-moulded mullions and stopped hoods. The rear of the main body has a two-light casement with glazing bars and Gothic glazing at the top. The attic includes a 16-pane sash with horns and a 4-pane sash with horns.

The main body has gable-end stacks and moulded coping with kneelers, while both stacks have flat-chamfered cappings. The extension at the rear also has moulded flat coping and gable-end stacks. Inside, there are reeded architraves on the doorways, a staircase with stick balusters, and an Adam-style plastered ceiling in the early 19th-century extension.
