The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a house, originally built as a rectory in 1703, with additions from the early and late 19th century. It is constructed of regular coursed lias stone and brick, with a slate roof. The building originally had a three-unit plan, but now has an L-shape. It is two storeys high with an attic. The front of the house has a two-window range on the first floor, featuring three-light stone mullion windows, and a three-window range on the ground floor with a leaded casement, a stone mullion window, and a tripartite sash window, all with stone surrounds. There are ashlar gable parapets and kneelers, along with 19th-century brick stacks at the ridge and ends. A painted sundial on the left side of the front of the house is dated 1703. Gable ends have two- and three-light stone mullion windows. The rear elevation includes an early 19th-century brick lean-to extension to the main house with a gabled staircase projection, featuring a sash window with a gauged brick head. A single three-light stone mullion window on the far right has arch-head lights. A wing attached at a right angle to the left forms the garden front and is in a late 19th-century style reminiscent of the 17th century. The interior was not inspected.
