Description
The Old Vicarage is a vicarage that has been converted into a house. It was built in the mid-18th century and has late 19th-century extensions. The structure is made of brick and features slate roofs with end stacks. It has three storeys, and the garden front faces south. The southern facade includes a three-bay section from the 18th century, which has an advanced gabled center, a cogged brick eaves cornice, and segmentally-headed mid-19th-century sash windows. To the left, there is a late 19th-century canted bay window, and to the right, a two-storey projecting wing from the late 19th century. This wing has square-headed sashes on each side, a cogged brick eaves cornice, and a nodding open pediment supported by stone corbels. The entrance is located on the east side, featuring a gabled late 19th-century porch. Additionally, there is another late 19th-century brick extension on the north side.
