The Old Rectory With Service Cottage And Link Wall

The Old Rectory with service cottage and link wall is a former rectory built around 1846, designed by architect Henry Jones Underwood. It is constructed of coursed squared and dressed limestone with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof with ashlar and brick stacks. The main building is rectangular and has a service cottage on the east side, with a wall approximately 10 meters long extending from the service cottage to a trap store.

The house is two storeys tall and includes a cellar. It has a dressed stone plinth and flat-chamfered rusticated quoins at ground floor level, which transition into clasping pilasters at the first floor, forming a band below the eaves. The entrance front has three windows, with a slightly projecting gable on the left. The ground floor features two 8-pane sash windows with lugged architraves, a cellar window below the right-hand window, and a twin sash window with two round-headed lights and a plain architrave in the gable. To the right, there is an 8-pane sash and a twin 8-pane sash, both with lugged architraves. A band runs between the floors, and there is a central 19th-century four-panelled door accessed by three stone steps.

The left-hand return has a similar gable and fenestration, including a 4-light canted bay with sash windows featuring horizontal glazing bars. The service cottage, set back to the right of the entrance front, is two storeys high with a two-windowed facade lit by twin 8-pane sashes with dressed stone surrounds and a 19th-century door with four flush panels. A wall approximately 2.5 meters high extends to the right, featuring a shuttered hatch and a 6-panel door. The trap store on the far right has double doors. The main building has a hipped roof, gable-end and off-the-ridge stacks, and wide eaves with brackets, while the trap store has a gable-end stack. The interior of the house has not been inspected.
