Description
The Old Rectory is a 19th-century building with a stuccoed painted front and a hipped slate roof featuring paired brackets at the wide eaves. It has broad rubble end chimney stacks with stone tabling. The facade is three bays wide and two stories tall, with 12-pane hornless sash windows that are slightly narrower on the first floor, all set on stone sills. A late 19th-century timber porch is located at the center, adorned with a moulded cornice supported by paired brackets, stop-chamfered posts, and trellising around the entry, which features an inner six-panel door with a two-pane overlight.
On the left side, there are two 12-pane hornless sashes on the first floor. The right elevation is colourwashed rubble and includes a two-pane basement window, with sash windows of the same style on each floor. The rear of the building has a wing to the left and a tall 8/6 staircase sash window near the center, along with a small six-pane sash to the right and a 12-pane hornless sash at the extreme right. There is also a six-pane casement on the first floor.
The lower colourwashed rubble two-story rear wing has a two-bay east front. It features a gabled open timber porch to the left with a four-panel half-glazed door, and a twelve-pane sash window to the right with a cambered stone voussoired head. The first floor has a 6/3 hornless sash that rises to the eaves.
Inside, there is a dog-leg staircase with stick balusters and scrolled tread ends, reflecting the early 19th-century tradition. The interior also includes four-panel doors and an inglenook in the rear wing, complete with a timber lintel and a bread oven.
