Description

The Old Vicarage is a mid-19th century vicarage, now a house, constructed of red brick with blue brick and ashlar dressings, topped with a slate roof. The roofline features ashlar coped gables with small finials, and there are five brick stacks – two external and three scattered. Dogtooth eaves run along the roofline. The building sits on a plinth with a chamfered ashlar band above.

The south front has two gabled bays. There are two bands of flush brickwork on the first floor, interrupted by the window openings, with two similar bands above. A pointed arched doorway with a glazed double door and overlight is flanked by a projecting two-storey canted bay with a similar doorway and overlight. Single pointed arched sash windows are on either side of the canted bay, with chamfered arched ashlar surrounds and decorative blue and red brick bands. A moulded ashlar band extends above the windows. The upper floor features matching sash windows, with a larger window facing the front. To the right of the front, a single pointed arched sash window is set within a chamfered ashlar quoin surround and a blue and red brick arched band. Chamfers have broach or ogee stops. Each garret has a single ashlar trefoil set into a pointed arched opening, framed by a blue and red brick arched flush band. A central ashlar gargoyle feeds a rainwater head. A single-storey extension and a two-storey wing are set back to the right.

The east or entrance front features a doorway set within a single gabled bay, with a pointed moulded arch supported by engaged columns with decorative capitals, further supported on a section of chamfered ashlar with broach stops. Flanking the doorway are pointed arched fixed lights, all set within ashlar surrounds with a continuous hood mould and decorative label stops. A plank door leads inside. To the right of the doorway is a large pointed chamfered arched fixed light with a flush ashlar quoin surround and a mullion dividing the window into two transoms, with two trefoil arched ashlar lights above and a similar cinquefoil in the apex. To the left of the doorway are two chamfered arched sashes with ogee stops and flush ashlar quoin surrounds, accompanied by a further flush band of blue and red brick following the line of the arch. A stack is positioned between these windows. Above the doorway is a chamfered pointed arched sash with a flush ashlar quoin surround and a blue and red brick band. A trefoil in the gable apex mirrors those on the south front. The north front includes a pointed arched doorway, fixed lights, gabled dormers, and half dormers.

The interior features panelled doors, a room with a foliate moulded cornice, a tile floor to the entrance hall, and a staircase with an ashlar three-bay trefoil arched arcade for the balustrade. An archway to the right is supported on a moulded capital.
