The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a house that dates back to 1637, with early 18th century and later additions. It features wet-dashed rubble walls and a graduated roof that extends beyond the gables, supported by stone mid and end chimneys. The building is 2½ storeys high and has six bays overall, with the eastern bay being blind. The entrance includes a 'T' shaped knocker on a studded, planked door set in a chamfered stone surround with a cornice. To the left of the door is a single sash window, and to the right are three sash windows. The first floor has five sash windows, while the top floor features three reduced-height sashes. Above the door, there is an upright rectangular panel with a Latin inscription, initials, and the date 1719, positioned between the top-floor sashes. All sash windows on the front elevation have early 18th century glazing bars.

Inside, the pantry at the north end contains a datestone with initials and the date 1637 in the wall. The kitchen has an ingle-nook fireplace. The window cases on the ground and first floors include panelled shutters and seats, some of which have drawers underneath. At the rear of the south end is an early 18th century fully panelled room that features concealed alcoves with drop-leaf tables on either side of a 20th century fireplace, along with a Corinthian cornice. The front room to the south has dado panelling and an alcove. The main staircase has a cut string with turned balusters, fluted newel posts, and walnut inlay at the top of the ramped, square handrail, while the servants' stairs have a closed string with turned balusters and a ramped square handrail. Both staircases are made of oak, and original doors are preserved throughout the house. Several early 18th century fireplaces remain on the top two floors. The roof is supported by four upper cruck pairs.
