Description
The Old Rectory is a detached house that was formerly a rectory, built in the 18th century. It is constructed from local lias stone that is cut and squared, with some rubble work, and features Doulting stone dressings. The roof is made of Welsh slate, with a stepped coped north gable and a hipped south-west corner. There are brick and stone chimney stacks.
The building has a closed U-plan and consists of two storeys with a four-bay roadside elevation. The sash windows are set in a keystoned moulded architrave, with 12-pane windows below and 9-pane windows above. There are no windows in the second and third lower bays, but between these bays, there is a pair of three-panel doors beneath a rectangular three-pane fanlight, all within a plain raised ashlar surround.
The south elevation has five bays that match the roadside elevation. The fifth bay projects and features an angled two-storey bay window with full windows on each of its three faces. The upper windows are all 9-pane, while the lower bays one to three have 12-pane windows. Bay four includes a French door with a fanlight above, and the lower windows in this bay have 18 panes. A single-storey wing has been added to the north side. The interior has not been seen.
