Description

The Old Vicarage is a house that was originally built as a vicarage, dating from the early 18th century, with a later extension from the 18th century and alterations from the 19th century. It was extended again around 1994. The building features painted brick and painted stone rubble, with a timber frame that is underbuilt with brick. The roof is covered in plain tiles and has gables adorned with ornamental bargeboards and finials. There is an integral brick gable end stack, and the layout is L-shaped, with the main range facing the garden and a rear extension wing facing the street.

The exterior has two storeys, with the garden front (south) displaying three bays: two bays with square framing on the left and a brick bay on the right. The framed bays are underbuilt with brick at ground level. There are three 3/6 Victorian sash windows on the upper floor and 6/6 sashes at ground level, all set in brick segmental arched openings. In the centre left, there is a projecting tiled gabled brick porch featuring a 20th-century glazed door.

On the street front (west), the right side shows the stone rubble gable end of the main range, while the left side has the rear extension with a range of light casement windows. To the right, there is a six-panelled door set in a restored doorcase with moulded pilasters and brackets that support a projecting open pediment.

The stone wall attached to the south is a garden wall made of rubble stone with a flat ashlar sandstone coping, which is an important feature of the village street.
