Description
The Old Vicarage is a vicarage that has been converted into a private house, built around 1840. It features tooled stone with tooled-and-margined dressings and has a Welsh slate roof, designed in the Tudor style. The south elevation consists of two storeys and four bays, with a chamfered plinth. At each end, there are projecting canted two-storey bays that include a three-light mullioned-and-transomed window beneath a moulded string, with the center light extending down to form a French window. Above these, there are two-light windows in the center bays, all under hoodmoulds. The ground-floor windows have small-paned casements, while the upper windows are six-pane sashes, all set in chamfered surrounds. The building has coped gables with moulded kneelers and finials, and the smaller gables over the bays feature chamfered loops.
The left return displays two blind loops, a two-light window above, and a loop in the gable. The left porch bay has stepped set-back buttresses, flush-panelled double doors beneath a Tudor arch, and a two-light window above, topped with a corbelled-out parapet featuring a gable. A tall stepped stack with a dentil cornice rises from the roof valley. The right return shows blind loops in the gable end, along with a right projecting stepped stack with a dentil cornice and a stair bay that has a Tudor-arched doorway beneath a tall two-light transomed window. To the far right, there is a lower four-bay service wing with a projecting cross-gabled end bay.
Inside, the vicarage features an open-well stair with turned balusters and a moulded wreathed handrail.
