Description
The Old Rectory is a double-pile, two-storey house, likely dating from the 18th century. It is symmetrically planned with a five-window front, arranged as a 2-1-2 pattern, and features central gables that project to the front and rear, resulting in a slender cruciform shape. A single-storey, gabled porch is located at the front. The house is mainly constructed of rubble masonry, which has been rendered, with the right-hand (northwest) side clad in slate. The roof is slate, with axial rubble stone stacks incorporating square-set brick shafts. The left-hand (southeastern) gables are hipped, while the right-hand (northwest) end is pitched and has gable stacks.
The principal (northeast) elevation has a main entrance through a segmental-headed archway in the gabled porch, which meets the projecting central block. This central block has splayed side walls, each containing a Tudor arch-headed window with two panes of glass. Above the porch, a casement window has four lights, with the upper lights top-hung and the lower lights side-hung, and is topped by a moulded hoodmould. The main range to the left has similarly detailed ground floor windows with six panes per light. The first floor here has paired, side-hung casement windows with six panes, lacking a hoodmould. To its right are similar first-floor windows, followed by a narrow doorway to the right of the porch, and scattered casement windows on the ground floor. The rear (southwest) elevation mirrors the front, also symmetrically planned as 2-1-2, with windows similar to those on the left-hand block of the front elevation, though the advanced block lacks hoodmoulds. The northwest elevation is slate-hung, and the southeast elevation is slightly jettied, with a large slate plaque displaying a Latin inscription and the date 1902, commemorating Thomas Warren Trevor A.M. (Rector of the parish and former resident).
Adjoining the northwest end of the main house is a two-storey, U-shaped range, which served as the former servant's quarters. This range is built of rubble masonry, with roughly dressed voussoir arches over the openings. It has a slate roof, with hipped ends at the northwest and a pitched end advanced from the north corner of the main house, featuring a cross-shaped recess in its gable apex. Entrances are located through doorways in the inner returns, and the fenestration is a mixture of casement and sash windows; the first floor has horizontally sliding sashes.
The property was not accessible for inspection in August 1997.
