Description
The Old Rectory is a house, originally a rectory, dating from the mid-to-late 18th century, although it may have earlier origins in the 18th century. It is constructed of coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and has a hipped roof covered in Welsh slate. The building has ridge and end stacks. The front facade has three storeys and a symmetrical 3-window range, with a central projection featuring quoins. There is a blocking course and cornice along the top. The windows have flush architraves beneath their lintels, with flush keystones. The ground floor windows are sash windows with 15 panes per sash, while those on the first floor have 12 panes and those on the second floor have 9 panes. A cambered headed entrance is located on the east side, leading into a long staircase hall at the rear of the building. This entrance features a 19th-century six-panel door and a fanlight above.
