Description

The Old Vicarage is a part of a former vicarage, now functioning as a house. It dates from the early 19th century, although its windows were altered in the mid to late 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick with some stone detailing and features a plain tile roof with two spans. It has two storeys and includes a plinth, a dentil brick eaves cornice, and coped parapeted gable ends. There is a small 20th-century diamond-shafted chimney stack on the front range, positioned off-centre to the right, as well as triple and single diamond-shafted stacks on the ridge at the rear. The façade has four bays with glazing bar sash windows, most of which are 20th-century replicas. A gabled porch is located in the second bay from the right, featuring a coped verge parapet and a four-centred arched entrance with a pair of 19th-century boarded doors, along with 20th-century glazing bar sashes on the sides. The north front is gabled and consists of two bays.

Inside, the ground-floor front room to the left has a trefoiled Gothic frieze and a moulded cornice that resembles details by John Nash at Longner Hall. Historical photographs indicate that the house once had a likely late 19th-century canted Gothic bay window on the north side and possibly early 19th-century windows at the rear with Y-tracery, both of which were replaced during the 20th-century renovations. The Old Vicarage was originally part of a larger vicarage, which has since been divided from The Vicarage Cottage.
