Description
The Old Rectory is a house that originated in the 17th century, with an early to mid-19th century addition at the front and some later alterations. The building is finished in stucco and features an asbestos slate hipped roof with wide bracketed eaves and stone stacks on the sides. The rear wing is rendered and has a triple roll tiled roof, along with brick ridge and gable stacks.
It stands two storeys high and has four windows, all of which are plate-glass sashes, with some being pivoted. The ground floor windows are adorned with a cornice on consoles, while the first-floor windows are framed in shouldered architraves with aprons. The building has a plinth, rusticated quoins, and a plain band at the first floor.
On the right side, there is a Venetian-style doorway featuring a two-panelled door with nine-pane sidelights, a fanlight, and a moulded surround with impost blocks and pilasters on either side. Above the doorway, there is a cornice and blocking course, with three six-pane lights at the first floor. The two-storey rear wing, which is the original part of the building, includes a three-light casement window, 19th-century weathered buttresses, and an external stair leading to a glazed door. There is also a two-light casement window under the eaves to the left and a lean-to at the end.
On the left side, there is a small canted bay with a French window, and to the right, another French window in a raised architrave. The first floor features a plate-glass sash and two sashes with a wider central pane, all set in raised architraves, with band courses and rustication extending to the left and right. The rear of the 19th-century addition has a round-headed four-pane light at the ground floor, a band course, and is rendered. The rear wing includes a 20th-century glazed door and a two-light casement, with a 20th-century window to the left and a four-light casement under the eaves. There is a straight joint between the two halves of the rear wing, and a ridge stack likely marks a former gable end. Inside the rear wing, there are deep-chamfered beams.
