Description
The Old Rectory is a former rectory that has been converted into a house. It is believed to date from around 1633, with late 18th century and early 19th century additions. The building is constructed of squared coursed limestone and features a Collyweston slate roof. Originally designed with a three-unit plan, it has been altered to a double-depth layout. The structure is two storeys high with an attic.
The main facade presents a seven-window range, highlighted by a central gabled porch. There are two-storey square bay windows with stone mullions and gablets that project forward at the ends of the flanking ranges. The other windows include two-light stone mullion windows and a single-light window located on the first floor at the far right. Some of the stone mullions may have been replaced in the 19th century, but all windows are fitted with leaded lights. The porch features a 17th century panelled door with strap hinges and a four-centre arch head, framed by a moulded stone surround. The building has ashlar gable parapets and ashlar stacks at the ridge and ends, with the stack on the far right being a 20th century addition.
To the left of the main front, there is a gable with two- and three-light stone mullion windows, along with an early 19th century two-storey polygonal bay that has a mansard roof. This bay features sash windows on three faces, and the ground floor has a sash door, all adorned with plain ashlar architraves and keyblocks. The rear elevation includes an early 19th century three-window range to the right, with sash windows set beneath stone lintels with keyblocks. The two gabled wings to the left are likely late 18th century and also feature sash windows with gauged stone heads.
Inside, the entrance hall contains a 17th century fireplace with a four-centred arch head. The main staircase and service staircase date from the early 19th century and are designed with stick balustrades. The drawing room at the rear showcases an early 19th century moulded cornice.
