Description
The Old Vicarage, now divided into two separate dwellings, was built around 1820. It is constructed of tooled coursed squared sandstone with ashlar quoins, a plinth, and dressings. The steeply pitched roof is made of Welsh slate and features chamfered stone gable copings on curved kneelers in a Jacobean style. The building has two storeys and a layout of three by four windows.
The east front, which faces the garden, has three windows and a projecting gable on the left side that covers canted bay windows with one, three, and one lights. There is a drip string at the ground floor level. The roof has a bracketed cast iron gutter and a parapet band. The central entrance is a half-glazed door set in a projecting chamfered Tudor-arched surround, topped with a cornice and blocking course. The third bay features a three-light window, while above it are two-light windows under gabled dormers. All windows are stone-mullioned sashes with glazing bars, set in chamfered stone surrounds with label moulds above.
Octagonal stone shafts with ball finials are located at the gables. The right return of the building has similar features and an inserted door. The roof includes conjoined octagonal ashlar chimneys at the right end and between the first and second bays of the main front, with one chimney at the rear left return and two on the right return. Inside the Old Vicarage, there are Gothick pilasters flanking the main room window, and the doors have three over three vertical panels set in deep panelled reveals.
