Description
The Old Rectory is a 19th-century building featuring a whitewashed roughcast exterior and slate roofs, with whitewashed stone end stacks and timber eaves brackets. The structure is two stories high and has a three-window front range. The first floor includes hornless 12-pane sash windows, while the ground floor features two later 19th-century canted bays and a timber porch. The bays are corniced and have 2-4-2-pane sashes. The porch is adorned with chamfered posts, side-lights, and top-lights, and contains an earlier 19th-century six-panel door, with the top two panels being diamond-traceried and glazed. At the rear, there is a gabled stair tower with an arched window.
The northwest wing at the rear consists of two sections, with a taller end range, each being two stories and having two windows. This section has north end stacks and 12-pane sashes, with the left ground floor sash being a 20th-century replacement for a door. There is also a lean-to rear dairy.
Inside, the front range features a central passage with a reeded ceiling border and paired north end arches supported by timber fluted pilasters, one leading to the stairs and the other to a slate-floored space underneath. The stick-baluster staircase has ramped rails and thin column newels, with a short return and landing rails on the upper floor. The doors are six-panel. The rear ground floor rooms have oak joists and large north end fireplaces, and there is a plank door leading into the dairy. A salt cupboard is located next to the inner room fireplace.
