Description
The Old Rectory is a former rectory built from colour-washed rubble stone and topped with a slate roof, featuring roughcast end stacks. It stands two storeys high with an attic and has five bays. The building includes three 19th-century gabled dormers, which have bargeboards and half-timbering above pairs of casement windows. On the first floor, there are four pairs of casement windows, which have been replaced with 20th-century uPVC, positioned two on each side of a blank centre.
The ground floor features canted bay windows on the left and right, both with long windows arranged in a 1-2-1 light pattern. The right bay window was added in 1868 as a replica of the left, but it has a fixed cross window at the front, while the left bay has a long French window. There are also casement windows on either side of the centre, set further in than the windows above, marked as altered in the 1868 plans. The centre door is half-glazed with marginal glazing bars and is set within a 19th-century gabled porch supported by thin iron posts, which also has fretted bargeboards. A lean-to is present on the right end of the building.
The left end features a large external chimney breast with canted sides, stepped in on the right. Adjacent to the left is an added projecting two-storey, one-bay range. At the rear, there is a half-glazed door with marginal glazing bars, located in a bargeboarded porch similar to the one at the front, positioned at the angle to the rear wing. There is also a blocked opening to the right and two uPVC casement pairs above.
The rear northeast wing, which was enlarged in 1868, has a roughcast north end stack and a tripartite window on the first floor to the west, above a uPVC imitation 12-pane sash with brick heads. The ground floor right window on the north end has been replaced with uPVC. The east side has two first-floor uPVC windows and a lean-to with a door situated between the two windows. The interior has not been inspected, but the 1868 plan indicates that considerable alterations were proposed.
