The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory, now a house, dates from 1868, as indicated by rainwater heads. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings, and has a roof of red and blue scalloped tiles arranged in bands, along with crested ridge tiles and coped gables. Stone ridge and end stacks are also present. The house is two storeys and has an attic. The front garden elevation is a balanced, though not symmetrical, four-bay design, with gables at either end. The left-hand gable features a canted bay window with a traceried parapet on the ground floor, a three-light mullioned and transomed window above, and a two-light window to the attic. The second bay has a partially glazed door (likely 20th century) with a hood mould, and a cross-window above, which sits on a pair of string courses dividing the ground and first floors. The third bay has a three-light mullioned and transomed window on the ground floor and a corresponding three-light window above, which is situated within a gabled half-dormer with the central light stepped up, a design detail that reflects the earlier 17th-century Manor House. The windows are plate casements. The right-hand gable has a slightly projecting stack displaying a coat of arms, and to the left are single-light windows to the ground and first floors, the ground floor window also featuring a transom. Similar detailing is found on the other elevations. A gabled porch is located at the rear. The interior was not inspected.
