Description
The Old Vicarage is an early 19th-century former vicarage. It is constructed of squared, tooled stone with a slate roof, and follows a T-shaped plan. The building is two storeys high with an attic, and consists of three bays. A central rendered porch features a French window with a two-pane fanlight set beneath an elliptical arch, accompanied by flanking nine-pane fixed windows. Three-light mullioned windows with late 19th-century sashes are present on either side of the facade; the first floor has late 19th-century sash windows, and there are three gabled dormers with 20th-century casements above. Coped gables with moulded kneelers and brick end stacks on stone bases are present. A set-back, single-storey, three-bay section with a stone ridge stack is to the right, and a lower, single-bay extension extends to the far right. On the rear elevation, a central gabled stair wing has a fifteen-pane sash window with intersecting glazing bars within a round-arched head. To the right and left are extruded, single-storey, canted projections; the left projection contains a flush-panelled door flanked by small, oval lights, while the right projection features a six-pane Yorkshire sash window. The building was described as "newly built" in 1826.
