Description
Nolton Rectory is an early 19th-century building with a facade that features whitewashed roughcast and a roof covered with 20th-century concrete tiles. The left end has a late 19th-century brick stack and bracketted eaves. The structure is two stories high with a two-window range of hornless sash windows: two 9-pane windows on the first floor and one 12-pane window on the ground floor to the left. The entrance consists of a half-glazed door with an overlight, set in a panelled doorcase that has a moulded architrave and a shelf hood supported by console brackets, along with a reeded frieze and dentilled cornice.
To the left end wall, there is a lean-to, and at the southeast, a two-storey rear wing features a ridge stack and one east-facing hornless 12-pane sash window. On the west side, an added range from 1884 has a slightly projected rubble stone gable, overhanging eaves, and yellow-brick framed windows on each floor, with casement pairs that include top-lights. There are also two narrow windows on each floor of the west side wall.
Inside, the ground floor rooms of the front range (excluding the later west addition) and the southeast rear wing contain three late medieval tunnel vaults that were plastered over in the early 19th century. One vault is above the current front hall, another is over the dining room to the east, and the third is above the rear kitchen. The front vaults feature reeded borders in the plaster, while the dining room has a curved south end wall. There is a probable stair site at the northwest corner of the kitchen where the vault has been cut away, along with a recess on the west wall. A dog-leg early 19th-century stair is located in the angle behind, running parallel to the front range, and features a three-sided stair-hall ceiling with column newels and stick balusters. The first floor includes three two-panel doors and one six-panel door.
