The Old Parsonage

This is a house, dating from the mid-to-late 18th century, with alterations and extensions from the early-to-mid 19th century and restoration work around 1980. The house is constructed of coursed squared gritstone with a grey slate roof. It features a plinth and stressed quoins. The main block comprises three bays, three storeys high, with a two-storey bay of the same height added to the left. The central door of the main block is glazed and set within a quoined ashlar surround, topped with a projecting keystone. Flanking this are sash windows on the ground and first floors, with glazing bars, plain sills and lintels. The attic storey has six-pane casements. The left bay includes a fifteen-pane sash window with an incised lintel on the ground floor, and a taller twelve-pane sash above. The roof is hipped and topped with four evenly spaced banded stacks, two along the ridge. A bay window on the ground floor right was removed and the rendering replaced during the 1980 restoration. The entrance hall features four-panel doors in architraves with paterae. A shallow arch leads to a rear staircase consisting of two straight flights with slender balusters and a moulded handrail.
