Description
The Old Rectory is a house that was originally built as a rectory in the early 19th century. The building features a main render with some dressed coursed rubble and ashlar, topped by a hipped slate roof. It has a single rendered stack at the front right and rear left, with two additional stacks at the rear. The structure is set on a plinth and includes an eaves band and a first floor band. It is two storeys high with six bays, where the second left and second right bays slightly project.
The second left bay, made of dressed coursed rubble with ashlar quoins, has a doorway featuring a six-fielded panel door, a decorative overlight, a panelled reveal, and single pilasters that support a pediment above. On either side of this doorway are single glazing bar cross casements, with a part-glazed door further to the right. Above this, there are four similar casements.
The garden or south front consists of three bays, with the central bay projecting and canted, featuring a single low tripartite glazing bar sash. On either side of this central bay are single glazing bar sashes, and above, there is a single smaller tripartite sash flanked by two smaller glazing bar sashes.
