The Old Rectory was built in the mid to late 19th century with classically Victorian architecture. The house has light, spacious accommodation arranged over three floors and handsome, Marnhull stone elevations under a pitched slate roof. The house is largely in its original form with many of the rooms having delightful views over the lovely gardens and countryside beyond. On the ground floor are three elegant reception rooms with fireplaces, good ceiling heights, large sash windows and working shutters. To the rear of the house is the kitchen with AGA, pantry, store rooms, utility, cloakroom and cellar. On the first floor are four good bedrooms and two bathrooms. The second floor offers three further bedrooms, a bathroom and kitchen, having been used in the past as an apartment.

Outside
A driveway from the lane provides ample parking to the west of the house, access to garaging at the rear and there is a five bar gate into the paddock. The gardens are a major feature of the property, with a large level lawn taking pride of place to the front (south) of the house, bordered from the lane by mature hedging and there are several mature specimen trees. From here are distant uninterrupted views to Bulbarrow Hill. To the east of the main lawn a mature hedge separates to provide access to a further splendid area of formal garden with a Parterre, patch for vegetable production and a fruit cage. Towards the eastern boundary is a further area with some fine mature trees, shrubs and borders. To the rear of the garden running east to west is a paddock in two enclosures and with separate access to the lane. In all the whole extends to about 3.47 acres
