Description
The former servants wing at the Rectory on Kerry Road in Newtown is an early 19th-century, two-storey building with a cellar and three windows. It is constructed of painted English garden wall bond brick and features a U-plan with hipped slate roofs and lead ridges. The building has deep boarded eaves and brick stacks.
The first floor has shallow upper sashes with nine panes, while the ground floor windows have twelve panes. The windows are framed with gauged brick voussoirs, plain reveals, and stone sills. The central entrance is recessed and features a broad cambered arch supported by Tuscan columns, leading to a mid-19th-century part-glazed double door. To the extreme left, a depressed archway leads to a courtyard. The right end elevation has four windows, with two on the ground floor replaced by a later 19th-century corniced canted bay featuring French windows. The remaining fenestration matches that of the front.
The left end elevation faces the courtyard and includes a 19th-century lean-to addition. It has a round-arched, side-barred stair window and a small-paned iron casement on the first floor, with modern windows on the ground floor. There is a broad doorway with a four-light fan leading to an earlier section on the left. The rear elevation is slate-hung, with windows on the right side. The first floor features a small-paned iron casement and a Victorian sash, while the ground floor has a twelve-pane sash and a small-paned iron casement.
At the rear of the yard, there is a two-storey kitchen and servants wing, constructed similarly to the stables, with tall central brick stacks. The courtyard-facing windows are small-paned iron casements, with two lights on the left and three lights on the right. These windows have cambered header arches, shallow reveals, and no sills. The left end wall has a nine-pane sash window on the first floor, an offset narrowed door on the ground floor, and a cut window alongside it. There is a blocked window on the right end wall above the first-floor band. The rear elevation has a tier of nine-pane sash windows, with a similar smaller sash on the right and a modern doorway to the left.
The property features a cobbled yard bounded by a stone-capped brick wall on the open south side.
