The Old Rectory And Rectory Cottage

The Old Rectory and Rectory Cottage is a detached house that was formerly a rectory, built in the 18th century with 19th-century additions. It is constructed from Ham stone ashlar and features hipped plain clay tiled roofs with stone slate base courses, with part of the building having a Mansard roof. The structure has stone slab and brick chimney stacks and is designed in an 'L' shape, consisting of two storeys with attics.

The west elevation has a layout of 1+3+2 bays and includes a plinth, an upper cill band, an eaves course, and rusticated quoins. The sash windows are set within architraves that have keystones; the three-bay section has 6-pane windows above and 12-pane windows in the lower bays one and two. The north bay features a 12-pane window at mezzanine level, which is concealed by a swept coping to the parapet that hides a lean-to.

The south-west projecting wing has two bays with 9-pane sashes above and 6-pane sashes in hipped-roofed attic dormers. Below this, there is a 19th-century four-light mullioned and transomed square bay window with a flat roof behind a parapet. An angled flat-roofed porch connects across the angle formed by the south-west projection, featuring a six-panel door with a plain architrave, semi-circular arched sidelights, and a cornice with a low plain parapet masking the flat roof. There are blind windows on the return of the south-west wing and a further single-storey extension to the north with a three-light chamfer-mullioned window. The east side has several extensions from various late 20th-century dates.

Inside, the building features a mid-18th-century staircase, several 18th-century doors and doorcases, one 18th-century panelled room, as well as a number of Regency and later features.
