Description
The Rectory for the Church of St Ruan is a Grade II listed building, dating from the early 19th century with a larger mid-19th century addition. The structure has a T-shape, with an early 19th-century wing on the north side and a larger mid-19th-century block to the south, extending to the west and east. It is constructed of stuccoed stone and features asbestos slate hipped roofs on both blocks, with rendered chimneys over the lateral walls.
The early 19th-century wing is two storeys tall and almost symmetrical. It was remodelled in the mid-19th century to create a two-window east front, which includes a partly glazed 19th-century entrance door on the left and a tall, 12-pane sash window without horns to the right, extending from floor to ceiling. Above the ground floor openings, there are two 16-pane sash windows, also without horns. A tall rendered brick stack is located at the north hipped gable end.
The mid-19th-century wing is taller than the earlier wing and is also two storeys high. The north-east front features two blind windows. The east front has a tall 24-pane sash window without ears on the ground floor, which extends from floor to ceiling, with a 16-pane sash window directly above it. The symmetrical south facade has a three-window front, with two tall 24-pane sash windows without ears on the ground floor, also extending from floor to ceiling, and a blind window in between. On the first floor, there are three 16-pane sash windows, with two on the left lacking ears, positioned above the ground floor windows. The interior has not been inspected.
