Description

The Old Rectory is a house dating from the mid-17th century, with additions from the 19th century. It is built of regularly coursed lias stone and has a slate roof. The original structure features a two-unit plan with a cross wing on the right side. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a three-window range of sash windows. The windows on the left and right have moulded stone surrounds, with the left side featuring sashes that have glazing bars, while the right side has a late 19th-century tripartite sash. Above these, there is an attic sash with a moulded stone surround, and at ground level, there is a 19th-century canted stone bay. To the left, there is a blocked entrance with a moulded stone surround. The gable parapets are made of ashlar stone, featuring mouldings at the top and finials with balls at the apex. There are also ashlar stacks at the ridge and the end of the building. The 19th-century wing on the right includes a stone porch and tripartite sashes. At the rear, there is one ground floor window with a moulded stone surround, while the others are 20th-century stone mullions. The building was used as the Rectory for a period.
