Description
The Old Vicarage is a vicarage dating to 1861, likely designed by James Deason for the Duke of Northumberland. It is constructed of snecked stone with tooled ashlar dressings, featuring a graduated Lakeland slate roof, with Welsh slates on the outshut. Two stacks have been rebuilt in brick and rendered. The building follows an irregular plan and is in the Free Tudor style.
The building is two storeys high and comprises one plus one plus one bays. It has a chamfered plinth. The projecting gabled centre features a boarded and studded door with foliate hinges, set within a chamfered arch with a moulded hood. To the left is a two-light window, and above it a three-light window; a low buttress sits on the right return, and a corbelled-out, reduced stack is on the left. The left bay contains a ground-floor window, and the right bay a two-light window within a gabled half-dormer. Coped gables sit on moulded kneelers. A ridge stack has been rebuilt on the old base, and a small left-end stack has a chamfered cap.
The left return shows a three-light transomed stair window above the roof of the outshut; to the left of the outshut, there is a single-storey kitchen wing with altered openings, except for a slatted gable window in the left return, facing the churchyard. The right return of the main house has two gabled bays, and a slightly-projecting, narrower right bay has a more steeply-pitched gable. Mullioned windows are irregularly spaced, with ground-floor windows featuring transoms. An off-centre gable stack on the left bay of the left return has an octagonal shaft and a chamfered cap. Fenestration is similar to the rear. All openings are in recessed and chamfered surrounds. All windows on the front and right return are small-paned, iron-framed casements.
Inside, the door from the vestibule to the hall is identical to the front door. The dog-leg closed-string staircase features stop-chamfered balusters, square newels, and a moulded handrail.
