The Old Rectory

Large, sprawling 2-storey former rectory, much of it in Gothick style, the earliest part the gabled cross-wing on the south, most of the remainder, including the L-shaped service wing (the eastern range of which is in fact a continuation of the cross-wing) being a later addition. Rendered rubblestone; slate roofs, some with overhanging verges. Main entrance on west in long asymmetrical 3-bay range, possibly also of early origin, has three 4-paned sashes directly below eaves and another of larger proportions with dripstone to ground floor right; timber mullioned and transomed window, also with dripstone and trefoil-headed tracery to upper lights, on ground floor left; porch to offset centre bay has very shallow hipped slate roof and 4 fluted pilasters to front flanking half-glazed double doors; glazed inner door; rendered integral end stack to left and ridge stack to right (near junction with cross-wing) have elaborately decorated circular brick shafts with moulded plinths and capping, 2 on end stack, 3 to ridge stack. Left gable end has 2 symmetrically spaced mullioned windows on first floor and 2 tall mullioned and transomed windows below, all with trefoil-headed tracery to upper lights and dripstones. Cross-wing to right (south) has 4-paned sash on first floor of gable and 2-light casement window on ground floor of left return in angle with long range; right return has slight projection from eaves with 3 sash windows on first floor and horizontal sliding sash to left and tripartite sash window to right of C20 French window on ground floor. Slightly recessed wing at right-angles to rear of long range has 2 almost full-height mullioned and transomed windows to north wall detailed like those in long range; integral end stack to left with paired octagonal shafts. Service ranges on south and east sides of house have mixture of original sashes (4-paned and 12-paned) on first floor and mainly altered openings with C20 windows on ground floor; plain ridge and end stacks.

Principal ground floor of cross-wing has 2 substantial cross-beams with infilled inglenook fireplace to one wall and close-studded timber-framed wall opposite; formerly had stone flag floor removed in 1960s.
