The Old Vicarage

The Old Vicarage is a house dating from 1876 to 1877, designed by Ewan Christian for the Crown Commissioners. It is constructed of red brick in English bond, with a Welsh slate roof. The building is approximately square in plan, with a three-room principal façade facing the south garden.

The south front is symmetrical with three bays and two storeys. A projecting central gabled bay is canted at ground floor level and features a plate-glass sash window beneath a segmental arch. Narrow plate-glass sash windows are positioned to the sides, each beneath a lintel supporting corbelled-out angles to the square first-floor section. The side bays have similar plate-glass sashes. The first floor features a pair of four-pane sashes within segmental arches in the central section, and single similar sashes to the side bays. Moulded sills are present throughout. The roof is hipped, and there is a stepped and dentilled brick eaves cornice, forming a broken pediment to the central gable. Large axial stacks rise from the building, featuring brick banding, corbelled heads with brick coping, and short cylindrical pots.

The left return features a two-bay west entrance front. A step leads to a board door positioned beneath a plain overlight within a pointed, double-chamfered brick arch with a brick billet hoodmould. A pair of narrow plate-glass sashes is located to the right. The right return has narrow central windows flanked by single sashes to each floor; one is a twelve-pane sash, while the others are two-pane sashes.

The interior is largely unaltered and retains original details including an open well staircase with turned balusters; chimneypieces to the main rooms with chamfered stone arches, polychrome tiles, and wood surrounds; panelled doors and window shutters, all finished in natural wood. The design is contemporary with Christian's nearby Church of The Holy Trinity.
