Description
The Rectory is a former rectory that has been converted into a detached house. It dates from the mid to late 17th century, with additions made around 1842 and further modifications in the late 19th century. The building is constructed from random and coursed rubble limestone, with some areas roughcast rendered, and features ashlar chimneys and a stone slate roof.
The structure is two stories high with an attic and has a lower L-plan section to the west, along with various additions on the south side. The south front showcases the main 17th-century range on the right, which includes two gabled wings. One of these wings has a moulded parapet gable and a matching parapet gabled porch that features a Tudor arched doorway with double moulded doors. To the left is a flat-roofed addition that also has a matching parapet, with 2-light mullioned windows and a single-light window in the gable.
On the right side, there is a larger late 19th-century gabled addition that includes decorative barge boards and a large canted single-storey bay window with mullioned and transomed casements topped with a coped edge. Above this bay window is a 3-light casement with a hoodmould. The gable end of the lower L-plan range to the left appears to be a 19th-century alteration, featuring a reset 17th-century three-light recessed cavetto mullioned ground floor casement with a hoodmould. The remaining casements are from the 19th century and also have hoodmoulds.
On the north side, the main 17th-century range was altered in the early 19th century, displaying a three-window fenestration with all 12-pane sashes set in plain stone surrounds, except for a tripartite sash on the ground floor to the right. There is a central recessed doorway with a 20th-century door. The parapet gabled ends of this range have projecting end stacks, with the eastern stack having its shafts removed. The main range of the house is noted to have been rebuilt around 1665.
