Description
The Old Vicarage is a vicarage, now a private house, dating from 1835. An earlier 18th-century building was incorporated into the complex to serve as a service wing. The main building is constructed of squared and tooled stone with cut stone dressings and an eaves cornice. The service wing is of rubble construction. It has Welsh slate roofs.
The front of the building is symmetrical, with two storeys and three bays. It features a plinth and a central entrance with half-glazed double doors and a paired casement overlight. The windows are sash windows, with the lower sashes of recent 20th-century replacement glazing. An eaves cornice with paired moulded brackets sits above, surmounted by a hipped roof with reduced ridge stacks. A projecting L-shaped wing extends to the left, divided into three bays with 12-pane sashes, a hip-ended roof, and corniced ridge stacks.
The right return of the main block displays a tripartite sash window to the staircase. The rear elevation has two tripartite windows on the ground floor, set beneath segmental relieving arches, and three 20-pane sashes on the first floor.
Inside, there is an open-well staircase with stick balusters.
