Description
The Rectory and former servants wing, located on Kerry Road in Newtown, is an early 19th-century, two-storey house 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, along with deep boarded eaves and brick stacks.
The front elevation includes shallow upper sashes with nine panes in the first-floor windows and twelve panes in the ground-floor windows. The windows have gauged brick voussoirs, plain reveals, and stone sills. A broad cambered arch leads to the central recessed entrance, which is supported by Tuscan columns and features imposts that frame an inset round arch. The entrance has a mid-19th-century part-glazed double door. To the extreme left, a depressed archway provides access 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, facing the courtyard, has a 19th-century lean-to addition, a round-arched side-barred stair window, and a small-paned iron casement on the first floor, while modern windows are present on the ground floor. A broad doorway with a four-light fan leads to an earlier section on the left. The rear elevation is slate-hung, with windows on the right side, including a small-paned iron casement and a Victorian sash on the first floor, and a twelve-pane sash and a small-paned iron casement on the ground floor.
At the rear of the yard, there is a two-storey kitchen and servants wing, built similarly to the stables, featuring tall central brick stacks. The wing has small-paned iron casement windows facing the courtyard, with two lights on the left and three lights on the right, all under cambered header arches with shallow reveals and no sills. A nine-pane sash window is located on the left end wall of the first floor, with an offset narrowed door on the ground floor and a cut window alongside. A blocked window is present on the right end wall above the first-floor band, and there is a tier of nine-pane sash windows on the rear elevation, with a similar smaller sash on the right and a modern doorway to the left.
The property includes a cobbled yard bounded by a stone-capped brick wall on the open south side. Inside, there are good plaster cornices, torus-moulded doorcases, panelled doors, and panelled shutters on the windows. Additionally, there is a lamp room with a sink and a contemporary stair.
