Description

The Old Clergy House is a house, originally divided into two cottages, dating to around the 16th and 17th centuries, with later alterations. It is constructed of rendered rubble with granite quoins, and has an asbestos slate roof with gabled ends. The building is two storeys high, with a five-window front. It features circa early 19th century casement windows in larger openings. On the left and to the left of centre are granite doorways with deeply chamfered four-centred arch heads and jambs, now with 20th-century hoods and doors. A projecting bay and stack with set-offs is situated to the right of centre, with a chimney stack heightened in brick during the 20th century. Rendered stacks are also present at the gable ends.
