Description

The Old Rectory is a house, formerly a rectory, built around 1840 with possible remains from the 18th century. It is constructed of rendered rubble and features a hipped slate roof. The building has two storeys and a south-facing facade with four bays, which are flanked by pilaster strips and have overhanging eaves. The windows are sash style with glazing bars and architraves. The end stacks are topped with paired octagonal caps. The entrance is located through a wing at the rear of the building.
