The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a vicarage now used as a house, reputedly built in 1698, with possible earlier origins and later additions and alterations. It is constructed from magnesian limestone with reddish-brown narrow brick fronting, which is now mainly pebbledashed and colour-washed, featuring ashlar dressings and a Welsh slate roof. The building has two storeys with attics and eight first-floor windows. It includes quoins, a plinth, and an off-centre entrance that features a 20th-century part-glazed double door with an overlight set within a keyed architrave, topped by a moulded cornice that forms part of a first-floor band with a sundial above. The ground floor has canted outer bays from the 19th century at each end, while the rest of the ground floor features 8-pane casements. The first floor has 12-pane sash windows and there are two raking dormers. The roof is adorned with ashlar coping and shaped kneelers, and it has end, ridge, and rear stacks. Inside, there is a dog-leg service staircase with splat balusters and a 19th-century open-well staircase with stick balusters.
