The Old Vicarage

The Old Vicarage is a house dating from around 1700, with significant additions and alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries, including a refronting in the early to mid-19th century and the addition of doorcases. It is constructed of brick, with some sections stuccoed and incised to imitate ashlar, and colour-washed throughout. The early section has a concrete tile roof, while later ranges have Welsh slate roofs.

The original design was a double-depth, two-room plan with a central entrance hall facing north and south. A later double-pile east wing was added. The earliest section is two storeys with an attic, and it has three bays on both the north (original entrance front) and south fronts, with a narrow central bay projecting. The north front features irregular window placement. The doorway is framed by bold ribbed pilasters and a frieze, with consoles supporting a hood above a six-panelled door. Above the door is a Gothick fanlight within a round-headed reveal, featuring fan-moulded spandrels. The windows on the north front are a mix of a tripartite sash with glazing bars to the right, a 12-pane hung sash to the left, and a 12-pane sliding sash at a higher level. The first floor has three 12-pane sashes. All windows are set within flush wooden architraves with sills. A hipped roof is topped with a central dormer containing a 16-pane sliding sash. Side wall stacks are present.

A taller, two-storey wing projects forward to the left, with an earlier three-window section and a slightly recessed single-window extension to the left, featuring 12-pane sashes in flush wooden architraves and a double-span hipped roof. The principal south garden front, formerly symmetrical, now features a flat-roofed entrance porch with slender columns supporting an entablature with a plain frieze and moulded cornice, above a doorcase with ribbed pilasters and ornate consoles. The porch contains a half-glazed panelled door with margin lights over two fielded panels, and a blind Gothick fanlight within a round-headed reveal. The ground floor has a tripartite sash with glazing bars to the right and an inserted French window in the location of a former matching window to the left. The first floor has a full-length 24-pane sash in a flush wooden architrave to the central bay, a tripartite sash with glazing bars to the right, and a 20th-century imitation sash to the left. All windows have glazing bars. Stepped eaves are present. A further range to the right, constructed in two phases, incorporates a former single-storey section, perhaps a garden wall, and has a tripartite sash, a 20th-century French window, and a casement to the ground floor, with four 12-pane sashes to the first floor.

The interior of the early section includes a good open-well staircase dating to around 1700, with a heavy corniced handrail, bulb-on-urn balusters, a pulvino-corniced string, and pendant drops. The ground-floor west drawing room features a moulded plaster cornice. An opening between the front and rear sections is marked by 19th-century Corinthian pilasters and a wooden architrave; doors are set within 19th-century architraves with peacock ornament to the corners.
