Description
The Old Rectory is a former rectory, now a house, built around 1820 for Reverend Wynniatt and altered in the 20th century. It is constructed of ashlar stone with a Welsh slate roof. The building features a four-window front with slightly projecting wings, is two rooms deep, and has two storeys, with a lower wing on the right. The front has mullioned windows with hoodmoulds, featuring sashes between the mullions, each window being two panes wide.
On the left wing, there is a two-storey rectangular bay with a three-light window at floor level and a wider three-light window above. This bay has a crenellated parapet and a blind single-light window with a hoodmould in the gable of the main roof, along with a parapet gable and a finial at the apex. The central section has raised stone paving where a porch was originally located, which was removed by Sir P. Stott. The central panelled door has raised mouldings and a four-centred arch, with a two-light window on each side, though these lack hoodmoulds. Above, there are two-light windows on each side and a blind single-light window in the centre.
The right wing features a three-light window on the ground floor and a similar but shorter window above, with a gable like the left wing, though the finial is missing. There are chimneys on the ridge of the main roof at each end of the central section, with bases and recesses between the flues, topped with moulded caps. The left return has a canted single-storey bay for the rear room, which includes a three-light mullioned window and angled corner buttresses, along with a crenellated parapet. The first floor has two single-light windows with hoodmoulds. The left half has a parapet gable, and there is a chimney on the ridge to the right, similar to the front. The front windows have panelled shutters.
