Description
The Old Rectory is a rectory that has been converted into a house. It was originally built in the mid-18th century and largely rebuilt in 1837 by W.J. Donthorne. The building is constructed from squared coursed limestone with an ashlar facade, featuring a Collyweston slate and plain-tile roof. It has an L-shaped plan and consists of two storeys and an attic.
The main front of the building has a five-window range with gabled end bays that project slightly. The central door features traceried panelling and has a four-centred arch head with a moulded stone surround and a frieze above. The ground floor has two-light stone mullion windows with transoms, while the centre three bays of the first floor also have similar two-light windows. The end bays on the first floor have three-light stone mullion windows with transoms, and all windows are fitted with diamond leaded panes. The gables are adorned with lancet windows, and a moulded cornice connects the heads of the first-floor windows, supported by angel head corbels in the centre three bays. The central three bays feature a plain parapet, while the gables have ashlar parapets with large octagonal finials. The building is topped with Jacobean style chimneys at the ridge and a lateral stack, both with octagonal flues.
The rear elevation includes reused 18th-century sash windows. To the left, there is an 18th-century range with a brick return wall that has a one-window range of 18th-century sash windows with moulded stone architraves, topped by a mansard roof. Inside, there is a 19th-century staircase with a stick balustrade and an 18th-century winder stair leading to the attic. Some 18th-century panelled doors and 19th-century fireplaces can be found in the reception rooms.
