Description
The Old Rectory is a late 18th-century rectory, subsequently used as a house, with alterations from the 19th and 20th centuries. It is rendered with a slate roof and has a hipped roof to the front of the projecting cross-wing. The central section has a coped parapet, while the right section has a plain 20th-century parapet of the same height, with hipped roofs to the left and right sides. Stacks are rendered, located to the left side of the wing and at the rear, centrally and to the right. The fenestration is irregular, featuring six recessed sash windows with thin glazing bars. The front gable end of the wing has two large twelve-pane sashes, the central section has two smaller twelve-pane sashes, and the right section has two sixteen-pane sashes set lower, each with narrow margin lights and rectangular fanlights. A recessed Soaneian doorway occupies the ground floor of the central section, with a half-glazed door and flanking windows, all under an attenuated segmental fanlight with thin glazing bars; a similar, internal doorway is located to the rear of the entrance lobby. A rendered single-storey addition, with a hip slate roof and a plain parapet, projects forward with a full-height canted bay containing three tall recessed eight-pane sashes. A painted iron verandah with a swept roof, purportedly from a house in Harbledown, is located to the left side of the left wing. The interior has not been inspected.
