The Old Rectory is situated in the centre of Carshalton Village Conservation Area and is Grade II* listed. Accommodation is set over 3 floors along with a basement area totalling in the region of 5,091 sq ft on a plot of approximately 0.12 acres (0.05ha). The property was originally built in the early 18th Century before being extended in the 19th Century and much of the original house survives, most notably the interior panelling. The staircase is intact as is the layout of the original early 18th century house. The house was purpose built as a rectory and as such is a rare survivor in Greater London and Surrey. More recently, the property became part of the Ecology Centre in the 1980s. Externally there is a driveway from Festival Walk which is shared with the neighbouring occupiers. To the rear, there is a single storey outbuilding/garage and garden area. The property is currently occupied in part by guardians.
