Description
The Old Rectory is a former rectory that has been converted into offices. It dates from the early 19th century but has older origins and has been altered and extended in the 20th century. The building is constructed of coursed squared ironstone and limestone, topped with hipped slate roofs and featuring brick internal stacks. It is designed in an L-plan and has two storeys with a nine-window range.
To the left, there is a higher two-window range that features a six-panel door accessed by three stone steps. This door has panelled reveals, a pilastered wood surround, and a pediment above it, with a 12-pane sash window located above. There are also blocked windows to the left of the door on both the ground and first floors, all with segmental-arched heads. This range includes a chamfered plinth, quoins, and deep projecting eaves.
The range to the right is rendered and displays irregular fenestration with two and three-light casement windows. A two-window wing at the right end projects forward and has a first floor made of brick over rubble, which is all painted.
Inside, there is an open well staircase featuring a ramped and wreathed mahogany handrail, along with cast-iron standard and stick balusters. The older rendered wing contains chamfered spine beams, and there is also a stone cellar.
