Old Vicarage

The Old Vicarage is a house dated 1698, with later additions in 1901. It is constructed of large rubble with roughly-shaped quoins and cut dressings, and has a Welsh slate roof with rendered stacks. The house is rectangular, with a central stair wing to the rear.

The south elevation has two storeys and five bays, arranged symmetrically. It features a central half-glazed door within a bolection-moulded surround with a pulvinated frieze inscribed "MAT OWEN FECIT A.D. 1698”. Above the door is an open and broken pediment, enclosing an oval cartouche bearing the arms of the See of Durham and a fruit ornament. The elevation has twelve-pane sash windows set in rebated stone surrounds with floating cornices and slightly-projecting sills. The coped gables have moulded kneelers with incised hearts, carrying ball finials; stepped end stacks are also present.

The left return of the building shows a blocked chamfered light on the ground floor, and two small, blocked lozenge-shaped lights under cornices on the first floor. The right return displays similar small blocked lights, oval on the ground floor and lozenge-shaped above. To the right is a projecting end of the north-east wing featuring a canted bay, with the first floor corbelled out, featuring paired sashes and a moulded cornice.

The rear elevation showcases the original stair wing, featuring three two-light mullioned windows, one of which is blocked; the others have lead latticed casements.

Inside, original door furniture and a bar remain behind the front door. A framed newel stair has a closed string, splat balusters, a moulded handrail, and square newels with moulded tops. The attics retain two-panel doors with H hinges. The principal-rafter roof was altered in the late 18th or early 19th century; the collars were removed, and the purlins have tusk tenons.
