The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a house dating from the early 18th century, with alterations made in the early 19th century. It has a rendered exterior and a Welsh slate roof. The house is two storeys high and has five bays. The central entrance features half-glazed double doors with margin lights and a three-pane overlight, set within a surround of pilasters and a cornice. To the right of the entrance is a full-height canted bay with sash windows incorporating glazing bars, except for the ground floor front which has a French window with margin lights. The right-hand bay has a French window with margin lights flanked by tall eight-pane sashes, all set in a pilastered surround with a cornice. The remaining windows, two to the left of the entrance and four above, are sixteen-pane sashes with stone sills. The roof is hipped with two ridge stacks. A round-arched stair window from the early 18th century is located at the rear. Inside, there is a large, open-well, cantilevered stone staircase with turned balusters. The doors have moulded architraves with paterae. Several 18th-century fireplaces are present, featuring fluted friezes below the mantels and basket grates. Simple acanthus leaf cornices are found in some rooms.
