Description
The Rectory in Caldbeck is a building that was rebuilt on the site of an earlier rectory for Pynson Wilmot, who served as rector from 1765 to 1789, with an early 19th-century extension. It features incised cement render with V-jointed quoins and a graduated hipped greenslate roof with rendered chimney stacks. The building is two storeys tall and has five bays, with an additional five bays to the left rear and a single-storey, single-bay extension, creating an overall L-shape.
At the center, there is a two-storey bow-fronted bay with a tetrastyle Doric porch that includes a six-panel door and sidelights beneath a glazed fanlight. Above this, there is a tripartite bow sash window. The building has sash windows with glazing bars, although three on the upper floor are internally blocked, all set within painted stone architraves. The upper-floor right-side tripartite windows are located under a central ogee arch with tracery glazing bars. The left side features 19th-century double-sash windows. The single-storey extension has a reused 18th-century fluted-pilaster doorcase beneath a dentilled cornice.
