Description

The Old Rectory is a two-storey house featuring walls with renewed roughcast, which replaced an earlier scribed front, and a two-span roof covered with renewed slates and adorned with trailed barge boards. There is a roughcast chimney stack on the right and additional stacks located behind.

On the upper storey, there are four 12-pane sash windows situated above a plat band. The three windows on the center and right side indicate the earlier structure, while the window on the left belongs to a later 19th-century enlargement. The lower storey includes French doors on both the left and right, which have margin glazing and overlights. The central doorway, located behind a recent classical-style porch, features an overlight and double doors with margin glazing above a single square panel.

The left side wall has a canted bay with sash windows on the right and two 12-pane horned sashes on the left in the lower storey. The rear elevation displays tripartite sash windows on the left and right in the upper storey, with a 4-pane sash window in between. In the lower storey, there are two sashes on the left and later casement windows. The right side wall has added lean-tos and a Gothic-style three-light mullioned and transomed window with a two-centred head.

The plan form and details are from the late 19th century. Inside, there is a central stair hall featuring an open-well stair with a wreathed handrail, with the main rooms located on the left and right. The interior has been mostly modernised. There is also a two-bay cellar beneath the earlier part of the house, accessed by stone steps and featuring a stone tunnel-vaulted ceiling.
