Description

Ffordd Banwy, also known as the Old Rectory, is a house dating from the 18th century. The main part of the building is two storeys high and has three windows on the south-facing side, with a crosswing on the right that extends towards the front. The garden-facing side of the crosswing has two storeys and two windows, while both gable ends feature attic windows. The front and garden elevations are constructed of red brick, the rear is made of slatey stone, and the left side is rendered. The roof is slate with a tiled ridge, timber finials, and generous boxed eaves and verges. There are two diagonally-set cluster-shaft chimneys and a low rendered extension to the west.

The principal windows on the main range and those of the crosswing are hornless sash type, each with 16 panes, set in rendered and white-painted reveals with stone sills. The windows have flat or cambered brick arches; those on the advancing parts of the front elevation are in brick rubbers, while the garden elevation arches are painted white, and the original front elevation arches are in yellow brick. The rear features utilitarian windows, some with leaded glazing, and there are three roof-lights at the rear of the main range and one at the rear of the west extension. Additionally, on the east side, there is a red-brick bay French window with modern frames and a hipped slate roof.

The interior has not been seen.
