Description
The Old Rectory is a house dating from the mid-18th century. It is constructed of coursed squared stone and ashlar, topped with a graduated stone slate roof. The building stands three storeys high and features three bays, along with a three-storey wing on the left side. Notable architectural details include chamfered quoins and a central six-panel door with a three-pane overlight, all framed in a plain ashlar surround. The ground and first floors are fitted with 16-pane sash windows, while the second floor has six-pane sashes, all of which have plain ashlar surrounds and raised sills. The roof features shaped kneelers, ashlar coping, and end stacks. The left wing includes a 20th-century glazed door, sash windows with glazing bars, and ashlar lintels and sills, with the roof hipped to the left.
