The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a circa 1840 rectory, now a house, with a front wing added around 1860 and later 20th-century alterations. The building is constructed of granite rubble, with stucco finishes, and has a slate roof with rendered side stacks and caps. The original house follows a Georgian design, featuring two principal rooms at the front with an axial hall passage behind, an entrance on the left side, and a stairwell to the right, with the hall separating the front rooms from service rooms located behind. A Victorian Italianate-style wing was added around 1860, projecting at a right angle to the front right, along with a stable block to the rear.

The main range is two storeys high with three windows. It has 12-pane sash windows on the first floor and a combination of 16-pane and a central 12-pane window on the ground floor, all set in plain reveals. The wing to the right features a gable end to the front, with paired 4-pane sashes on both the ground and first floors, with a smaller window above. Decorative features of the wing include a moulded string course at the springing of round-headed arches, window mouldings, keystones, first-floor cills on brackets, a moulded first-floor cill string, and a plinth. The left side of the wing has a similar sash window at ground and first floor levels. A 20th-century glazed single-storey addition is on the right side, and a single-storey rubble stable block with an asbestos slate roof is located behind. The left return displays a blank gable end to the main range, with a porch leading to a former chapel projecting above. A 6-panelled door with brass fittings and a 2-light window are present in the chapel. The rear of the porch block features a similar window on both the ground and first floors. A single-storey rear wing attached to the left has a 12-pane sash window at the upper level on the right.

The rear of the main house is arranged in two ranges. The taller, two-storey range to the left has four windows, irregularly spaced 12-pane sashes on the first floor, and a 2-pane light, single light, and 2-light casement on the ground floor. There is a door with a lead hood to the right. The second range to the right has two windows, 3-light casements on the ground floor, a 20th-century 4-pane light and a 9-pane sash on the first floor, with lined-out rendering.

Inside, a front left room has a mid-19th century marble chimney piece with moulded corbels to the mantel, and shutters on the windows. Ground floor rooms are accessed via 6-panelled doors with panelled soffits and cheeks. An open-well stair has turned balusters and ball finials to the newels. A former stable to the rear features a wide opening with a timber lintel and a 6-pane light, as well as a gabled dormer.
