Description
The Old Parsonage is a house built around 1750, constructed of red Flemish bond brick with stone dressings and a slate roof. It has two storeys, an attic, and a basement. The entrance front is symmetrical with three bays, featuring a central doorcase flanked by pilasters and an open pediment with a fanlight above. The door consists of six raised and fielded panels. On either side of the door are three-light casement windows, with three similar windows on the first floor. All these windows have splayed heads and stone sills, and they are 19th-century replacements of taller, narrower 18th-century sash windows. Above the central first-floor window is a 20th-century roundel, and there is a three-light triangle-headed window in the central pediment. The house has a wooden frieze and cornice. To the left, there is a single-storey 19th-century extension. The gable chimney stacks each have seven tall moulded 19th-century flues.
On the west side, there are basement casement windows with four, two, and three lights. The ground floor features two-light windows on either side and a similar window in the centre. There is a similar window on the first floor to the right, and two three-light windows in the attic. The walls at the corners of the house project at right angles and terminate in piers with caps topped by ball finials. Stone kneelers are present at the gable ends.
The rear elevation is also symmetrical with three bays. It has a central doorway flanked by half Ionic columns, an entablature, and a pediment with dentils, with a flight of five stone steps leading up to it. The door has two lower raised and fielded panels with two upper glass panes. On either side of the doorway are basement sash windows with three by two panes. The ground floor features windows with three by four panes, all with stone sills and splayed heads that include keystones. The first floor has similar windows, with the central window altered in this century to have three by six panes instead of the original three by four panes. There are also two three-light dormer casement windows, and a 20th-century gun room extension is located to the right.
