Description
The Old Vicarage is a former vicarage that has been converted into two back-to-back houses. It dates from the late 17th century, with a new entrance front added to the west around 1810. The building is constructed of hammer-dressed stone and features stone slate roofs.
The west front is two storeys high and includes a three-bay cottage attached to the left, which projects forward and has a symmetrical façade. The cottage has a central doorway with an overlight, flanked by sash windows on both floors, all featuring lintels and projecting sills. It has gutter brackets and a hipped roof with an end stack.
The main house features quoins and tripartite-sash windows with wooden surrounds on either side of a large square porch, which is adorned with Tuscan pilasters, a frieze, and a cornice. The first floor has three sash windows similar to those of the cottage. The roof is hipped with end stacks, one of which has a cyma-moulded cornice.
At the rear, or garden front, there is a two-storey 19th-century bay to the left of the three-storey 17th-century range, which has two front-facing gables. The left bay features a large French window approached by a flight of 11 steps, with flanking lights and overlights. Above this is a two-light window with a recessed flat-faced mullion retaining 12-pane sashes. The hipped roof has an end stack to the left. The 17th-century house has a large inserted French window to the left and an inserted doorway to the right, with two 10-pane sashes in plain stone surrounds on each upper floor. The gables are coped with kneelers and continuous coping, and there are gable stacks.
