Description
The Old Rectory is a house that was originally built as a rectory, with a datestone indicating it was constructed in 1768. The building features squared coursed lias stone and has a slate roof, following a double depth plan. It stands two storeys high with an attic.
On the west elevation, there are twin gables and a two-window range of early 18th-century, two-storey canted bays that include French doors on the ground floor. The first floor has sash windows, and there are small attic sashes above. The gable parapets and kneelers are made of ashlar, with the left gable featuring a carved finial. There are brick stacks at the ridge. The left gable displays the datestone from 1768, while a reset datestone from 1573 is located to the right of the right gable. An armorial plaque is situated between the first-floor windows. The left elevation has two sashes with glazing bars and a mid-19th-century porch.
Inside, there is a late 18th-century staircase, and a room to the left boasts a fine 18th-century plaster ceiling.
