The Old Rectory

Detached three-bay two-storey house over semi-basement, built c.1800, with central breakfront, and flanking single-storey wings. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystack. Roughcast rendered walls. Timber sash windows with stone sills. Segmental-arched doorcase with pairs of engaged Ionic columns flanking timber panelled door, with fanlight and side lights. Stone steps with cast-iron railings. Three-bay two-storey rubble limestone former coach house and cast-iron gates to the site.

This modest house is enlivened by subtle architectural details, such as the central breakfront, recessed blind arch with inset window, and imposing doorcase. The building is enhanced by the retention of many interesting features and materials, such as the timber sash windows and limestone steps. The related outbuildings and cast-iron gates contribute to the setting of the house.
