The Old Rectory And Attached Wall, Outbuildings And Coach House

The Old Rectory and attached wall, outbuildings, and coach house is a house that was formerly a rectory, built around 1710-1720, possibly by Francis Smith. It is constructed from ironstone ashlar with a 20th-century hipped plain-tile roof and brick internal stacks. The building has a double-depth plan, is two storeys high with an attic, and features a five-window range. The main front faces the garden and includes a part-glazed door set in a moulded stone surround with a keyblock and a swan neck pediment, accessed by three curved stone steps. The ground and first floors have 12-pane sash windows with moulded stone sills and surrounds, also featuring keyblocks. The structure includes a chamfered plinth, raised quoins, a moulded storey band, a moulded stone eaves cornice, and three roof dormers.

To the left, a high attached stone wall with moulded stone coping conceals an attached outbuilding and a small service court. The right side elevation has three windows, including an early 19th-century bay window and sash windows similar to those on the front. The rear features cross windows and 1-light windows on both the ground and first floors, with transoms flanking a large early 19th-century leaded round-arched window that lights the staircase. A small cobbled service yard is surrounded by outbuildings with lean-to roofs and a small coach house that has double-leaf doors, a segmental arched doorway with a keyblock, and stone-coped gables with kneelers.

Inside, there are stone-paved floors in the front hall and staircase hall. The open-well staircase features barley-sugar twist balusters, fluted Doric column newels, a ramped handrail, carved tread ends, and dado. The drawing room and study have fielded panelling, with the drawing room also featuring a bolection-moulded fireplace surround and a fitted cupboard with a round-arched head. There is also a stone cellar.
