Description
The Old Rectory is a tall, two-storey building with a two-window Georgian facade, originally part of a sub-medieval house, and features a lower two-storey range to the right. It has pitched slate roofs with rendered end stacks. The windows are modern uPVC, arranged symmetrically, but there is a small staircase window on the ground floor to the right. The central entrance is a timber door with horizontal panels. The lower range has three windows, an end stack, and a mix of varied casement and fixed-light window frames set in deep reveals. There is an offset ground-floor door to the left and lean-to outbuildings attached to the garden wall on the right, which flanks the road. The rear of the main building has a wide catslide roof.
Inside, the ground floor has a direct entry to the main room, with a chimney wall on the right and an inner room on the left, featuring diamond slabs on the floor. The ground floor showcases chamfered beams with feathered stops, a window seat, a stone-flagged floor, and a stone spiral staircase built into the wall next to the chimney bressumer. The ground floor of the lower east range is accessed through a doorway at the rear of the chimney and has large stop-chamfered beams with transverse beams forming ceiling panels. The upper floors have not been inspected but are reported to contain a room with an arch in the southeast wall and a recess in the northeast wall.
