The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is an asymmetrical two-storey building dating from the 18th century. It features a roughcast front with three windows on one side and one on the other, along with a plinth. The slate roof has rendered chimney stacks at both ends of the three-window section, with the left stack heightened in brick. The entrance bay is advanced and gabled, offset to the left, following a Victorian extension to the right. It has plain bargeboards and a plaque on the gable that reads "LH 1780." The building has sash windows without glazing bars, adorned with Tudor hoodmoulds, and tripartite windows on the right. The doorcase is fluted with a bracketed hood, and above the six-panel door is a three-pane fanlight.

The left end is roughcast with a painted plinth, and the two-storey section extends to the rear, featuring a camber-headed twelve-pane sash window above a sliding sash. There is also a sliding sash on the rear gable end, accompanied by a truncated chimney stack. A further lower range adjoins the building, which has a weathervane on the ridge and was formerly used as stables but is now converted to garage use. The right gable end is scribed render, and there is a rearward extension with French windows. The courtyard at the back is partly cobbled and includes a well and whitewashed brick buildings to the south and west. The central part of the house has an earlier 18th-century steep pitch roof that runs parallel to the front range, with a first floor that jetties out supported by brick piers.

To the right of the entrance, there is a deeply recessed area beside a cross range that features cambered brick voussoirs and a first-floor sliding sash window. The gable end has a chimney breast with a truncated stack, and there are outside brick steps leading to boarded doors for the hay loft, which are retained on the right. Some glazed tiles have been inserted into the brickwork at the rear.

The property is enclosed by a brick and rubble boundary wall to the east, with a cobbled drive and boarded gates. Internally, some Regency doorcases and a cornice from the Victorian range are retained, and there is likely an 18th-century barrel-vaulted brick cellar that is said to have once led to a passage under the road.
