Description
The Rectory is a house dating from the 17th to 18th century, with alterations made in the 19th century. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble and features a slate roof with brick stacks. The building has a double-pile plan and stands two storeys high with an attic, comprising six bays. The central doorway is framed by an 18th-century moulded wooden doorcase, which includes panelled reveals and a flat hood supported by brackets. The entrance has 18th-century double doors that are partly glazed. All windows are topped with square stone hoods, which were renewed in the 19th century, and feature 20th-century wooden casements. To the right of the entrance is a two-light window, while to the left there is a blocked window. The left and right bays contain three-light windows, and the first floor has two-light transomed windows. The dormers, dating from the 18th or 19th century, also have wooden casements. At the rear, there are two blocked stone mullioned cellar windows, each with two lights. Inside, there is an 18th-century staircase with turned balusters and a panelled dado.
