Group Description
The Old Rectory and Rectory Cottage
A late Georgian house of 2 storeys and 5 bays, of rubble stone with renewed slate roof projecting on boarded eaves. Brick stacks are to the L end, R of centre (the gable end of the original house), and the R gable end has 2 external stacks. Of the symmetrical E front, the 3 bays to the centre and L comprise the original house, and are separated by a straight joint from the 2 bays to the R, added in 1813. The central entrance is within a hipped porch with splayed angles incorporating narrow openings, with replaced front door under a small-pane overlight. Windows are 16-pane hornless sashes, with original wooden lintels renewed in concrete in the lower storey. The R gable end and 4-window rear are rendered, except for the 2 bays to the R of the rear elevation (the lower storey of which constitutes Rectory Cottage). Segmental-headed windows, with stone voussoirs visible in exposed stonework, have wooden-framed casements with leaded lights, except lower R where the glazing has been replaced, and lower L where there is a 12-pane sash window to the original study. The windows are not equally placed. In the upper storey are 3 windows to the centre and R and a single window on the L side. In the lower storey a boarded door is L of centre under a segmental head, with the study window further L. A boarded door under a gabled canopy R of centre is the entrance to Rectory Cottage, which has a small inserted window to its L.
Rectory Cottage is an adjoining lower 2-window 2-storey house. Its original front, facing E, is set back from the front of The Old Rectory. In the lower storey are brick segmental heads to a doorway to the R with replaced glazed door and replaced casement to the L. The upper storey has similar replaced casements in earlier openings beneath the eaves. The W side has a rendered gabled projection with replaced and inserted windows, and a conservatory which abuts the coach house.
