Description
The Old Rectory is a house that was originally built as a rectory in the early 19th century. It is constructed from coursed sandstone and features hipped slate roofs with brick stacks. The building has a roughly L-shaped plan, with the main block oriented from north-east to south-west and a subsidiary block extending from north-west to south-east.
It stands two storeys tall and has four windows on the south-east entrance front, one of which is set into the hipped roof. The subsidiary block to the left includes one window above the porch and two more in the return of the east garden front to the right. All windows are glazing-bar sash windows, with the first-storey window in the left-hand block having compressed proportions.
Entry to the house is through a flat-roofed stone porch supported by Tuscan columns, featuring a contemporary six-panelled door. The east front has a blind trompe-l'oeil sash window on the first floor at the south-east angle.
