Description

The Old Rectory is a former rectory, now a house, dating to the early 18th century with later 18th and mid-19th century additions. The building is constructed from squared ironstone and brick, with limestone dressings and steep-pitched Welsh slate roofs. It has a rubble plinth, rusticated quoins, coped gables with kneelers, and moulded eaves. There are two coped triple gable stacks. The layout is in a U-shape.

The south front is brick and features a central, mid-19th century Gothic porch with shafts and a half-glazed door, flanked by single canted bay windows with three plain sashes. Above the porch, there are five glazing bar sashes with keystoned lintels. A stone west wing, two storeys plus attics, has a nearly central pedimented moulded doorcase with a six-panel door. To the left of the doorcase are two glazing bar sashes, and to the right a single glazing bar sash, all with segmental heads. Further to the right is a pilastered wooden doorcase with a 19th-century half-glazed door, and beyond that a small casement. Above the doorcases are two glazing bar sashes with segmental heads. Four flat-roofed dormers with two-light casements are situated above the second floor.

Inside, a late 18th century dogleg staircase has winders and vase and stem balusters. A south-east ground floor room features full-height fielded panelling and a 19th-century marble fireplace flanked by fitted cupboards.
