Description
Hardway House is a rectory built in the early 19th century, now functioning as a house. It is constructed from local stone that is cut and squared, with dressings made of Doulting stone ashlar. The roof is covered with plain clay tiles and features coped gables, along with brick chimney stacks at each end. The building is designed in the Regency style and has a double roof plan. It stands two storeys high and consists of four bays, with the first bay being a projecting gable. The windows are 16-pane sash types with plain surrounds. There is a projecting porch at the third bay that has a chamfered cambered arch, which protects double doors that are partially glazed with margined panes. The rear of the house features margined casements on the ground floor. Inside, the property remains largely unchanged, showcasing a Regency style staircase, doors, doorcases, and fireplaces. An extension has been added to the north, designed to match the original structure, which includes a coach house with a brick pseudo three-centred major arch.
