Description
The Old Vicarage, designed by John Ryan and Partners, is a vicarage that has been converted into offices. It was built in 1886 by T. F. Healey and features hammer-dressed stone with a stone slate roof. The building showcases a mix of Gothic and Vernacular Revival styles and consists of two storeys and attics, arranged in a three-cell plan with an internal porch.
The exterior includes a plinth and a string course above the ground floor and first-floor windows. The first cell has a parapet, while the second and third cells project slightly forward under separate coped gables topped with eaves finials. All windows are double-chamfered mullioned. The first cell features a cross-window with a two-light window above it. The second cell has a four-light window with cusped ogee lights, located to the left of a wide semicircular-arched doorway. This doorway has chamfered jambs and a richly-moulded head with a hoodmould that rises to form a fleur-de-lys on the date stone. The inner doorway has a false ogee lintel and richly-moulded jambs, leading to a tall cusped light with a decorative leaded window that was removed from Calverley Hall around 1907, along with another window from the same source. On the first floor, there is a five-light mullioned-and-transomed window. The second cell features a canted window with four lights on each floor, including a transom on the ground floor. The attic gables also have four-light windows. The gables are coped and include kneelers, with a large central ridge stack and another stack on the right gable.
The right-hand return of the building is U-shaped and highlights a central large hall window with four lights and two transoms. The left-hand return has a three-gabled facade. The left bay includes an extruded stack with offsets and a bullseye window topped with a swan-neck pediment. The central bay has a ground-floor projection with a four-light mullioned-and-transomed window to the left of a doorway featuring a shaped lintel, above which are three two-light windows. The third bay contains two cross-windows and a five-light mullioned-and-transomed window above. The attic gables again have four-light windows.
Inside, there is a large main galleried stair-hall featuring carved and turned balusters and newels.
