Description
Rhossili Old Rectory is a two-storey house with three windows, facing west towards Rhossili Bay. It is situated within an older enclosure of rubble-walled homesteads and is rendered in an off-white color. The house features a slate roof with a tile ridge and an end chimney on the left, which has a brick capping and a ceramic pot. The rainwater goods are made of cast iron. There is a low-pitch slate roof of a lower height over the rear range.
The house has 16-pane sash windows on both levels, which are in graded sizes. The upper windows are slightly smaller than the lower ones, and the central window is smaller than the two flanking windows. The central door is made with narrow boarding.
To the south and east, there are outbuildings constructed from axe-dressed masonry, also featuring slate roofs with tile ridges. The perimeter walls are made of axe-dressed and rubble stone, with some sections partially collapsed.
