Description
The Old Rectory North is a former rectory, now a house, built in the 17th century and remodelled around 1700. It originally incorporated The Old Rectory South (listed separately). The roadside front and rear walls are made of ashlar, the right-hand return wall of coursed squared and dressed limestone, and the roof is covered with artificial stone slates. The building has a 'T' shape. It is two storeys and an attic with a 4:2-windowed roadside front and a projecting cross wing to the right. The right wing has two 20th-century cross windows with wooden mullions and transoms on both the ground and first floors. There are three blocked windows and a 20th-century panelled door on the left return. The central range has two 20th-century cross windows and a single 20th-century window to the right. The first floor has four early 18th-century cross windows. All windows have moulded surrounds and glazing bars. A string course runs between the floors, and there are three 2-light dormers to the roadside front. The right-hand return displays the upper parts of a 2-light and a single-light stone-mullioned cellar window. The ground floor has two early 18th-century two-light casements and one 20th-century casement, while the first floor has two 18th-century cross windows and one 20th-century two-light casement with frosted glass. The rear has cross windows and doorways with ovolo-moulded surrounds. A single 18th-century two-light roof dormer is present, along with a small chimney gable from which the stack has been removed. The roof is hipped, with a modillion cornice at the front and rear, and has twin axial stacks with restored moulded capping.
Inside, there is a large open fireplace with a bread oven at the rear, and spine beams with stepped stops and run-out stops to the main body. A 19th-century staircase, in the style of the 17th century, leads to a landing with early 18th-century fielded panelling and a bolection-moulded stone fireplace containing a late 18th-century hob grate. An early 18th-century fielded two-panel door leads off the landing. A bolection-moulded stone fireplace is also found in an adjoining bedroom. A back staircase, possibly dating from the late 17th to early 18th century, features turned balusters.
