Description
The Old Rectory is an L-shaped house with one storey and attics, featuring a north-south range made of random rubble stone and an earlier east-west range that is timber framed. Both sections are topped with new slate roofs and have two brick chimneys, one located at the center of the timber framed range and the other at the northern end of the stone range. The roofs are adorned with decorative red ridge tiles. The west front, which includes the stone range and the gable end of the cross wing, has been rendered. In the center of the front elevation, there is a 20th-century rendered porch with a pitched roof, and a gabled attic dormer is positioned to the north. The house features small multi-pane wood casement windows, with one window on each storey of the gable end, one in the attic dormer, and another below it.
At the rear (east) of the stone range, there is a 20th-century masonry lean-to porch that includes a door and a small multi-pane window. To the north of this porch is another gabled attic dormer with a multi-pane window below.
The two-unit box framed range consists of three rows of square panels set on a blue brick plinth, with the panels infilled with render. The south elevation is nine panels wide and features a gabled attic dormer in the center, which has a jettied bressumer. The timber framing of the upper panels does not align with the framework below, suggesting that this section and the gabled dormer may have been added later. There are six small multi-pane casement windows, each fitting into a panel in the middle row, as well as two similar windows in the dormer. The east gable end is five panels wide and has passing braces at the lower corners. It features central inserted French windows flanked by small multi-pane windows, and the gable has a collar with diagonal struts above. Below, there are three casement windows similar to those on the south side.
Access to the interior was not available at the time of inspection, but it is reported to be finished with wattle and daub.
