Description
The Old Rectory is a hotel, originally a rectory, dating from the mid-19th century. It is constructed of squared sandstone with a hipped slate roof. The north-west facade has three bays, featuring sash windows with plain reveals and a first-floor sill band. A gabled porch is centrally positioned, with a rounded head and impost band above its outer doorway. The left-hand portion of the facade is blank. Chimneys are located to the right and to the left of the porch.
