Description

The Old Rectory is a house built in the early 19th century, constructed from ashlar stone and topped with a Welsh slate roof. It has two storeys and a symmetrical facade with three bays, featuring quoins at the corners. The central entrance consists of a six-panel door beneath a fanlight adorned with Gothick tracery, all framed by a Doric doorcase that includes a plinth, half columns, a frieze, a cornice, and a pediment. The windows throughout the building are four-pane sashes, each with continuous sills and flat stone arches that have incised voussoirs. There is a sill band on the first floor and an eaves band along the roof, which is hipped with end stacks. At the rear, there is a round-arched stair window that also features Gothick tracery. Inside, the property boasts good woodwork, including doors with reeded architraves and paterae at each corner. The open well staircase and some plasterwork further enhance the interior.
