Description
The Old Vicarage is a vicarage that has been converted into a house. It dates from the 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries. The building is constructed of rendered brick and features a slate roof with stone-coped gables, along with two gable stacks and one ridge stack. The front has seven bays and is two stories high with attics.
The entrance is an off-center, panelled glazed door that is sheltered by a 19th-century brick porch, which has Gothic pointed sidelights, decorated eaves, and a gable. To the right of the door are two glazing bar sash windows, followed by a canted bay window with glazing bar sashes at the end of a projecting wing. On the left side of the door, there is a wall at ground floor level leading to a yard, which has another door and a glazing bar sash window. Above the door on the first floor is a blank window opening, with two glazing bar sashes to the left and a similar window to the right, along with another blank opening and a second window. There is also a second canted oriel window in the projecting wing to the right, which has a shaped lead roof.
Inside, the vicarage features sweeping early 19th-century stairs with plain square-section balusters, three to a tread, and shaped curving handrails. The west garden front has two two-storey canted bay windows and an early 19th-century wooden doorcase, with a first-floor band and pilasters that divide the facade into four bays.
