Description
The Old Rectory is a former rectory that has been converted into a private house, dating from the late 18th century. It features rubble-stone walls and a pantile roof with bell-cast eaves and stone gable-copings. There are rendered stone stacks at both the left and right gables. The building has two storeys on the north side and three storeys on the south side due to the sloping ground. The north elevation has three windows, which are sashes with thin glazing-bars and wooden lintels above. Most of the windows on the north side are now blind. The front door is centrally located and consists of nine glass panels with a wooden architrave. The porch has a round-headed entrance, rendered walls, and a pitched pantile roof.
