Description
The Old Vicarage is a vicarage that has been converted into a house, built in the early 19th century. It is constructed of brick with a roughcast finish and features hipped slate roofs, along with three brick ridge stacks. The building is two stories high and has five bays in a double depth plan.
The west front showcases a central Doric porch with a moulded hood, which shelters a recessed six-panel door and an overlight. To the left of the porch are two glazing bar sash windows, and to the right, there is a single glazing bar sash. On the upper level, there are five similar sash windows.
At the rear, there is a French window with flanking lights on the right, with two glazing bar sashes to the left and a single similar sash to the right. Above this, there are four glazing bar sashes. On the north side, there is a 20th-century door to the left, flanked by a sliding sash window on the right.
