Description

The Old Rectory, now a house, likely has origins from the 16th century, with datestones from 1633, 1731, and 1790. It was altered in the early 19th century and around 1857. The building is constructed of squared coursed limestone and features a Collyweston slate roof. It has an irregular L-shaped plan and is two storeys high with an attic.

The main front, which is to the right, includes a central canted bay window with a five-light stone mullion window that has a transom; the upper lights of this window are blocked. There is a chamfered plinth and a castellated parapet, which is dated 1633 at its center. To the left, there is a part-glazed door from the 19th century. The roof is steeply gabled, with ashlar gable parapets and a 17th-century stone stack at one end, along with a late 18th-century brick stack at the rear.

A double-gabled wing projects forward to the left, and its return wall features a two-storey canted bay window with stone mullions, similar to the main front but with 19th-century sash windows on the first floor. The gable ends have 19th-century sash windows with glazing bars set under wooden lintels, and ashlar gable parapets. The right gable has a datestone from 1731, while the left gable was likely remodeled in 1857. The stone mullion windows have leaded casements, some of which contain original glass. The right gable of the main range includes a two-window range of single and tripartite sash windows under gauged stone heads, with a single attic window in the apex. The rear elevation displays a datestone from 1790 and includes 19th-century extensions.

Inside, the entrance hall features an early 19th-century staircase with a stick balustrade. The drawing room to the right was part of the original hall and is now subdivided, containing an early 19th-century fireplace and arch-headed double doors. The study at the rear also formed part of the original hall, and it is suggested that the hall range may have extended further to the south.
