9/112 The Old Rectory

GV II

House, formerly Haccombe Rectory. Late medieval origins, probably remodelled in the circa early C17 but substantially altered in the circa early/mid C18, late C20 extension into former outbuildings. Whitewashed rendered cob on stone rubble footings; thatched roof, gabled at left end, hipped at right end of main range, roof of front wing half-hipped at end ; left end stack, 2 stacks to wing, one on either side of the ridge. Plan: Overall L plan: a north-west facing main range with a front right wing at the south-west end. The main range is a single depth 3 room plan arrangement with an unheated entrance hall from which the stair rises against the front wall. The house originated as a late medieval open hall house of jointed cruck construction with part of a late medieval roof structure surviving over the right end, including a formerly infilled truss indicating that the left end of the medieval house was either storeyed or unheated. Presumably the medieval house was floored in the circa early C17 but all signs of this phase disappeared during the subsequent early/mid C18 alterations which provided a 3 room plan arrangement with a good set of C18 windows. The front right wing, with the remains of some chamfered beams, is probably an C18 service wing. C20 alterations have involved the introduction of a stair at the right end of the range and extending the house to the right into converted single-storey outbuildings. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 2:1 window front, the one window to the end of the wing at the right. Open porch on square reeded timber posts with a 1980s panelled front door; 2-light C18 casement with square leaded panes, lighting the stair, above the porch ; 1 ground floor and 1 first floor C18 3-light casement to the left with square leaded panes and timber mullions, complete with original catches. The end of the wing, to the right, has 1 ground floor and 1 first floor C20 timber casement with glazing bars ; C20 casement to ground floor on left return of wing. Attractive garden (south-east) elevation with a 1980s 2-leaf glazed door in the centre into the entrance hall, 3 first floor C18 3-light mullioned windows with casements with square leaded panes, similar window to ground floor right, 2 C20 2-light casements to the left with square leaded panes. The left return (the side of the wing) has 2 first floor C20 timber casements. Interior: Some C18 and early C19 joinery ; chamfered ceiling beams in the kitchen wing. Roof: 2 side-pegged jointed cruck trusses below a later roof structure, mortised at the apex with cranked collars mortised into the principal rafters, formerly with threaded purlins. These trusses are above the centre of the main range ; the right hand truss is lightly blackened the left hand truss, formerly infilled with wattle and daub, is blackened on the right side only. A probably C17 truss survives further to the right and 3 jointed crucks form the hipped end of the house at the right, apex of these timbers not inspected. An interesting evolved house of medieval origins with a good set of C18 windows.
