The Old Rectory

The Old Rectory is a substantial house built in the Georgian style. It served as a rectory for some time and is now a hotel. The building is constructed from coursed and dressed masonry made of long stone slabs. It features a hipped slate roof with a tiled ridge and deep bracketed eaves. The central pediment includes a bulls eye window and is flanked by small gable dormers with slate hung cheeks. There are paired rectangular ridge stacks with a dripcourse and capping, linked by arches.

The principal elevation faces east towards the road. Originally, the house had a three-window range, which was later extended with flanking wings that align with the central block. The main entrance is located to the right (north) of the central block under a gabled porch. The flanking wings each have round-headed doorways with single first-floor windows above. The left-hand doorway is raised by an external flight of five steps and has a small window next to it, while the doorway to the right (north) is blocked. The windows are horned sashes, with the ground floor featuring 12-pane lights and the first floor having smaller 8-pane windows. At the left (south) end, there is a three-window extension set at a lower level, with the sills of the 12-pane horned sash windows at ground level.

The rear elevation includes a basement storey and has a central advanced bay with flanking verandas, featuring timber casement windows throughout.

The interior was not inspected during the survey conducted in June and July 2003.
