Description
The Old Vicarage is a house that was originally built as a vicarage in 1845, with a wing added around 1880 and further modifications in the early 20th century. The building is constructed from dressed sandstone and features graduated slate roofs and stone chimney stacks. The main block has an attached wing on the left side.
The main block is two storeys high and has a three-by-three bay layout. It has a low plinth and flush quoins. The central entrance consists of a six-panel door topped by a radial fanlight, all set within a round-arched stone surround that includes pilasters and a raised keystone. Above the door is a blank bay, and there are replaced 12-pane sash windows on either side, which have flush lintels and projecting chamfered sills. The roof is hipped, and there is a central corniced ridge stack with a mid band.
The left wing is set back and is also two storeys, featuring a one-bay design with a tripartite sash window on the ground floor and two replaced 12-pane sashes above. This wing also has a hipped roof.
On the right side of the main block, there is a three-bay return with a central elongated vertically-sliding window flanked by later canted bay windows made of stone. Above, there are three replaced 12-pane sashes.
The early 20th-century additions at the rear of the wing are not considered to be of special interest.
