Description
The Old Rectory is a mid-19th century vicarage designed in the Gothic style. It is constructed from coursed rubble stone with a stone plinth and features ashlar dressings, including coped gables. The roof is slate with stone stacks. The north front has an irregular layout with an off-centre porch and gables at each end. The left gable is slightly recessed and has a large projecting stack, with the breast recessed in raking tiers and flues that include water tabling.
The off-centre porch, which is two storeys tall but has a lower ridge, features angle buttresses with raking offsets. The gable of the porch is coped with kneelers. Below the gable, there is a narrow 4-pane window, and the chamfered sill extends to form a dripstone with label-stops that are carved with vine and grape decoration. The entrance doorway is Tudor arched with a double chamfer and a boarded door. Between the porch and the right gable, the front wall is recessed.
On the first floor, there is a 3-light mullion window with a large central light containing 6+6 panes, flanked by 3-pane marginal lights on each side. The ground floor features a similar but larger window with 8+8 panes and 4-pane marginal lights. The far right gable has a 2+2 casement window on the first floor and a 3-light mullion window with 8+8+8 panes on the ground floor. The casement windows are fitted with quadrant stays.
The garden front on the right side has two 2+2 casements on the first floor. On the ground floor, from right to left, there is a 6+6 casement window and a canted bay window with a hipped stone roof. The bay window has a central 3-light mullion (with 3 panes in each light) flanked by 3-pane side lights. To the left of the bay window is a 20th-century stone extension. The west elevation features a 2+2 casement on the first floor and a 1+1 pane window below.
Inside, the entrance lobby has double doors that are Tudor arched with plain panels at the base and three panes above. The lobby opens into a passage: to the left is the dining room, and to the right are the study and kitchen. The 19th-century four-panel doors have chamfered panels with straight cut stops. The dining room was previously divided into two separate rooms.
