The Old Vicarage

The Old Vicarage is a former vicarage, now a private dwelling, built in 1889 by Thomas Bower. It features red brick and planted timbers with a tiled roof, and consists of two storeys and an attic. The garden front, facing east, has two bays, while the entrance front, facing north, has three bays. A prominent feature on the north side is a massive chimney stack, which includes two small windows on the ground floor and an inset stone panel displaying Crewe Estate emblems at the first floor level. The entrance door is made of oak and has strap hinges, set within a stone-dressed opening in the Perpendicular style. The ground floor windows are made of stone with mullions and transoms, and there is a large octagonal stone bay on the garden front. The first floor features small framing style timbers with metal casements. The chimney tapers to normal proportions at the eaves level, designed with side slopes and three gabled steps, and has pilasters and large projecting caps. The garden front also includes a verandah with a lean-to roof supported by five turned posts, and there is tile hanging on a rear wing.
