Description
The Old Rectory is a house that was originally built as a rectory in the early to mid-19th century. It features a stucco exterior and a slate roof, standing two storeys high on a plinth. The building has coved eaves soffits and a hipped roof. The garden front includes a central two-storey rectangular projection with a hipped roof. There are four tall rendered chimney stacks: one to the left, one on either side of the central bay, and one at the rear to the right. The front facade has a regular arrangement of five windows, consisting of four recessed glazing bar sashes (two on either side of the central bay) and a tripartite sash in the central bay. The ground floor displays tall 15-pane glazing bar sashes, and the central bay features a canted bay with a moulded wood cornice. The entrance includes a panelled door with three vertical lights, set beneath a flat hood supported by heavy consoles, located in a projection at the centre of the right gable end. The interior has not been inspected.
