Description
The Old Vicarage is a parsonage house dating from the mid-18th century, with a later addition from the mid-to-late 18th century, and subsequent alterations. The house is constructed of red brick with a hipped clay tile roof, featuring a brick ridge stack and an integral brick gable end stack. It is two storeys high and originally comprised seven bays; the two bays on the right-hand side are later additions. The windows are glazing bar sashes. Five first-floor windows to the left, and the left-hand ground-floor window, have gauged brick heads and raised painted keys. The second and fourth first-floor windows from the left are blind. A late Victorian gabled porch is located to the left of the centre of the original house, where a part-glazed, vertical panelled door is set, incorporating a raised key and an oblong over-light with radiating glazing bars. The east elevation features two windows; a two-storey, three-light canted bay on the right, and glazing bar sashes to the left, with gauged brick heads and raised keys. Inside, the mid-18th century staircase is open well with turned balusters.
