Description
The Old Vicarage is a former vicarage that has been converted into a private house. It was built in the mid-19th century for the Reverend Goodenough. The building is constructed of ashlar stone and features a Welsh slate roof, showcasing an irregular plan in the Tudor style.
The house has two storeys. The entrance front has two bays and includes a stone corniced porch with a chamfered Tudor-arched doorway on the right. Inside, there is a Tudor panelled-arched inner door. Above the entrance, in the slightly projecting cross-gabled left bay, are 12-pane sash windows set in chamfered surrounds, each topped with floating cornices.
The roofs are gabled, featuring ridged coping and kneelers, with rendered brick ridge and end stacks. The left return has a three-bay garden front with a projecting cross-gabled centre bay that includes a two-light window on the ground floor and a three-light window above, both similar to the 12-pane sashes.
At the rear, there is a two-storey canted bay window. The right return features a large three-light mullioned and transomed stair window.
Inside, the property retains Tudor-style doors and fireplaces, as well as an open-well staircase with turned balusters.
