Description

The Old Rectory is a house built around 1840, likely with earlier origins. It features cemented elevations, probably made of brick, and a Welsh slate roof with stone ridge and end stacks. The gables are stone-coped. Designed in a classical style, the building has a rusticated ground floor, moulded eaves, and slightly projecting pedimented sections at either end of the front.

The house is two storeys high and has five 6/6 sash windows in painted moulded frames. On the ground floor, from left to right, there is a tripartite window with 2/2, 6/6, and 2/2 sashes, followed by a porch, two 6/6 sash windows, and another similar tripartite sash. The porch is rectangular and flat-topped, supported by two square columns and pilasters at the wall, all featuring Composite capitals. An entablature and blocking course sit above the porch, and a cornice and blocking course continue across the front as a raised band. Inside the porch, there is a two-leaved part-glazed door.

On the right end of the building, there is a large one-storey flat-topped porch and a two-storey wing that projects to the rear, which includes three 3-light centre-opening casements.
