Description
The Old Rectory is a detached house located on Amesbury Road in Rollestone. It dates from the mid-17th century, with alterations made in the 19th century. The building features a combination of limestone and flint arranged in bands and chequers, topped with a half-hipped thatched roof and brick stacks. Originally designed with a baffle-entry plan, it has been modified to an L-plan layout.
The house is two stories tall with a two-window front. A central gabled porch, which is a well-matched 19th-century addition, has a door with six fielded panels and a small ovolo-moulded casement above. The door jambs are original and chamfered. Flanking the porch are two 3-light ovolo-mullioned windows with hoodmoulds. On the first floor, there are two 2-light ovolo-mullioned windows.
On the left side of the building, the ground floor features two 2-light ovolo-mullioned windows with hoodmoulds, while the first floor has one 3-light window and one 2-light window in the attic. The right side has one 2-light ovolo-mullioned window with a hoodmould on the ground floor and another 2-light window in the attic. At the rear, there is a wing added in the 19th century, constructed in the same materials and style, which includes ovolo-mullioned windows and some 20th-century casements. The interior was not accessible at the time of the survey in November 1984.
