Rectory House (aka The Old Rectory)

Rectory House, also known as The Old Rectory, is a Grade II listed building designed in the Ruskinian Gothic style. It features a south porch, a verandah on the main south-facing front, and an east staircase wing. The structure is constructed from coursed rock-faced stone with decorative red brick details, including banding and voussoirs that alternate with Bathstone. It has a very steeply pitched main slate roof with swept eaves, which incorporates three steeply gabled roof dormers with deeply overhanging eaves. There are three tall and thin chimney stacks positioned along the ridge. The building has two storeys, an attic, and a cellar.

The steeply gabled two-storey porch projects to the right and contains an 8-pane sash window with a cusped head on the first floor above a pointed arched main entrance doorway with a cusped head. To the left is the main four-window range, featuring similar windows on the first floor, cross-framed windows in the dormers, and long 8-pane sashes on the ground floor, with a verandah in front supported by iron posts. Adjoining on the right is a two-storey half-hipped staircase bay. The rear elevation includes twin gables, which are a later alteration, and shouldered windows.

Inside, the reception rooms at the front lead off a corridor that runs parallel to the front. The main staircase is located on the east side, with back stairs on the west. Ground floor rooms retain their shutters. The fireplaces are mostly not original but are roughly comparable in age, having been salvaged from various buildings around Cardiff. The interior also features panelled doors.
