Description

The Old Vicarage is likely a house dating from the early 17th century, significantly altered in the 19th century. It is constructed of sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings, with roughcast rendering on the front and rendering at the rear. The roof is of Welsh slate, with two corniced gable stacks. The building is long and low, with a two-storey, single-bay section attached to the left and a gabled, single-bay wing to the rear. The front elevation, of two stories and four bays, features a 17th-century doorway with chamfered jambs, Tudor-arched head, monolithic lintel, and hoodmould, positioned in the second bay from the left. It also contains 19th-century four-pane sashes and a tripartite window on the ground floor to the right. The right return has an external gable stack, and a bread oven projection to the rear. The rear elevation mainly features renewed 12-pane sashes in raised surrounds. The roof has coped gables with shaped kneelers.

Inside, there is an early 17th-century fireplace with a wide segmental arch of sandstone ashlar, chamfered jambs, and a rebuilt, brick-lined bread oven. A late 17th-century dogleg staircase is present, featuring a moulded string, handrail, and two barley-sugar balusters per tread. There are also several early 18th-century two-panel doors and a ground-floor room with early 18th-century raised-and-fielded panelling.
