Description
Longwood, formerly the Rectory, is a house built around 1805. It features brick walls in Flemish bond with rubbed flat arches, some cambered and semi-circular arches, a first-floor band, and a brick eaves band adorned with large dentils made of coupled bricks. The roof is hipped and covered with slate, with gabled lower service wings. This square Regency house has two storeys and three distinct formal elevations.
The west (garden) elevation is symmetrical with five windows and a central half-circle (Diocletian) light above a cambered arch. The ground floor has sash windows that reach down to floor level, and the base of the wall is marked by a continuous moulded stone step. The south (entrance) elevation features a lower wing that is recessed to the east side, which has been partly demolished, leaving only the front wall. This elevation has four upper windows, also with sashes in reveals. The doorway is framed by a large semicircular brick arch with a stone key and impost blocks, along with a radiating fanlight, side windows, and a door set within thin reeded pilasters, leading to a six-panelled door. The wing has a less regular design, with a plain arch doorway.
The north elevation of the main block includes a half-hexagonal bay with three lights on the eastern half, below a large window with a cambered head and triple sash. The west side features two full-height recesses below cambered heads, while the lower service wing on the east side has two above three sash windows. Inside, most original features are preserved, including the staircase, panelled doors with architraves, and shutters.
