The Rectory

The Rectory is a small country house built in the mid-19th century, designed in a simple late Georgian style and situated in open countryside. The building is two storeys high with cement rendered elevations, a rubble plinth, and a pitched slated roof featuring deep boarded eaves. It has an L-shaped plan, with the main range containing three windows aligned on a north-south axis, and a smaller two-window range at right angles to the south end, which steps down to a single storey scullery range to the west.

The main range is topped with four stacks made of coursed rubble, each with moulded caps; there are two gable stacks, two axial stacks, and an additional gable stack at the west end of the rear range. The windows are primarily 12-pane sashes, most without horns, although some later replacements do have horns. The front elevation features a two-storey, central, three-sided bay with a slated hipped roof, which includes 12-pane sashes on both the first and ground floors, flanked by narrow 4-pane sash windows. A strong rendered string course runs around the house at the level of the first floor cills. On either side of the bay, there are single 12-pane sashes without horns on both the ground and first floors.

The south elevation has a single-storey gabled porch at the junction of the main and rear ranges, featuring a five-panelled door on the east side and a round-headed sash with margin panes on the south side of the porch. The south elevation of the main range includes a single deep 12-pane sash with horns, while the south elevation of the rear range has two 12-pane sashes on the first floor and one horned and one hornless sash on the ground floor to the left of the porch. The rear elevation contains additional 12-pane sashes. The front and rear elevations of the scullery are un-fenestrated, except for a single 12-pane sash on the rear gable end. The ground floor sashes in the reception rooms still retain their internal shutters.

The property was not available for inspection at the time of the re-survey in June 1995.
