Description
The Old Rectory is a house built in the late 18th century with 19th-century additions. It is constructed of coursed gritstone with ashlar details and has a stone slate roof. The building has a double-pile plan and stands two storeys high, featuring six first-floor windows. The central entrance has a six-panel door beneath a moulded, eared architrave topped with a pulvinated entablature. To the left of the entrance is a Venetian window with a moulded architrave and a four-pane sash. To the right of the entrance, there is a rectangular sash window with a moulded architrave and glazing bars, followed by a large canted bay window that has a castellated cornice. The first-floor windows from left to right consist of three sashes in plain architraves with a linking band at sill level, two similar windows set lower in the wall, and a narrow sash with a plain stone sill and lintel above the canted bay window to the right. The building features a moulded eaves cornice, ashlar coping, and shaped kneelers. There are three narrow stacks located at the left gable and on the ridge, along with a large stack at the right gable.
