The Osgathorpe Rectory was originally much smaller than what we see today. The earlier core of the house was part of a group of late medieval gable-on to the road cottages that included the adjacent coach house which has early timbers and enjoyed its own glebe field down to the brook. The building plan of 1837 was extended forward and turned to incorporate a new larger property, two storeys with plain front in Charnian rubble lithology. The bay windows were added in 1850 when the house was extended by raising the roof and replacing the stone of one gable end with brick. It was sold into private ownership in the 1970’s after Osgathorpe and Belton shared the Rector. The interior layout was revised in the 1970’s and the conservatory at the northern end was added in the last 30 years.
