Description
The Old Rectory is a late 18th-century house, largely refronted in 1826 using gault brick. It is situated on Church Road in Harling. The house has a three-bay facade, with two storeys, divided by plain giant pilasters. It features a double semi-circular arch over a panelled front door, surmounted by a five-vaned fanlight. Sash windows with glazing bars are set beneath gauged skewback arches. The building has overhanging eaves, a hipped slate roof, and symmetrical chimney stacks.
