Description

The Old Rectory is a house with two distinct phases of construction, dating to the late 18th century but with earlier origins. It is built of limestone rubble, with the main facade featuring brick facing in a Flemish bond pattern. The roof is covered with pantiles, and there are brick stacks. The building has undergone considerable alterations to its internal layout. Outshuts with catslide roofs extend to the rear. The house is two storeys high with single-storey extensions—formerly barns—now serving as accommodation and a garage at each end. There are five windows on the first floor. The doorway has a half-glazed door flanked by fluted pilasters supporting a moulded pediment. Throughout the house, sash windows feature glazing bars under keyed stone lintels. A dentilled eaves course is present, along with swept roof, gable coping and shaped kneelers. End and ridge stacks are also visible.

Inside, a late 18th-century staircase is notable for its column-on-vase balusters, while the landing retains late 17th-century oplat balusters. Six-fielded-panel doors and a dado rail remain in three of the main ground floor rooms.
