Description

The Old Rectory is a former rectory that has been converted into a house. It dates from the late 16th century or early 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th century and further modifications in 1846 by J. Snelling. The building features thin coursed, squared stone on the main block, with larger stone above, and a stone slate roof. The cross wing is constructed from thin coursed, squared stone with ashlar dressings and has a Welsh slate roof.

The layout is in a 'T' plan, with each section being one room deep and two storeys high, and a lean-to partly infills the rear angle. The entrance front of the main block has a wall that has been refaced on the left end, a three-light mullion window, and a shallow stone porch with a half-glazed door. The door is surrounded by an ovolo-moulded frame and has a stone lintel above, with a recessed oval feature in the gable over it, a moulded verge, and a sundial at the apex. To the right, there is a three-light mullioned window and a blocked door. Above, there are two two-light and two three-light mullioned windows, with a parapet gable featuring a cross gablet apex and a ball finial at the left end. A ridge chimney with a moulded cap is located behind the porch.

To the right, the wall projects forward for the gable of the cross wing, which has a two-light mullioned window on the left return. On the left side of the gable, a single-storey porch projects, featuring a chamfered surround to the opening, a stone lintel, a parapet gable, a cross-gablet apex, and a ball finial. This porch covers a five-panel door. To the right, there is a two-light mullioned window, with two similar windows above it. The parapet gable has a panelled chimney on the ridge with a moulded cap. The right return has three sash windows on each floor.

Inside, the entrance hall in the cross wing is stone-paved, and there are cantilevered stone stairs. The rear room on the right has panelled shutters. The right-hand room in the main wing features heavy, hollow-chamfered beams at the quarter ceiling, with half-beams exposed on the walls and chamfered joists. A wide fireplace with a timber lintel is also present. The cross wing was added in 1846, while the wing at the left end was demolished in the 20th century. The upper floor and roof have not been inspected. The Old Rectory forms a group with the stables, church, and manor house nearby.
