Description
Chadstone Old Rectory is a house that was formerly a rectory, built in the early 18th century with later alterations and extensions from the 19th and 20th centuries. It features a limestone ashlar exterior, a plain-tile roof, and brick stacks at each end. The building has a double-depth plan and stands two storeys high with an attic, presenting a five-window range. The central entrance consists of a panelled part-glazed door set within a gabled stone porch. The ground and first floors are adorned with 12-pane sash windows that have segmental-arched keyblocked lintels. Architectural details include a moulded plinth, chamfered quoins, moulded stone eaves, and stone-coped gables with kneelers. To the right, there is a single-storey extension added in the 19th century. Inside, the kitchen features an open fireplace with a chamfered bressumer, and there is an open-well staircase with slender turned balusters.
