Description
The Old Vicarage is a vicarage that has been converted into offices. It dates from the mid-17th century, with a cross-wing added in the mid-19th century and various alterations made over time. The building is constructed of English bond brick with stone dressings and features plain-tile roofs with stone-coped shaped gable parapets, most of which have moulded kneelers. The roof includes 19th-century brick ridges and external stacks.
The structure is arranged in a T-plan, with a cross-wing on the left side. It has two storeys and an eight-window range, with five gables on the front. A large open-fronted porch is located at the angle of the building, featuring an ogee gable with a moulded cornice and kneelers. The porch includes a moulded stone round arch with imposts and a keystone, leading to a nine-panelled door. Small windows on either side of the porch have moulded stone architraves with keystones, while a sash window above also has a moulded stone architrave.
The slightly projecting central range has three windows and two ogee gables. The ground floor features a small single light window, with a staircase window above. The right range has two windows with small single lights on the left. The 19th and 20th-century wooden cross windows have horizontal glazing bars and brick segmental arches. The cross-wing is taller and wider than the main section, with string courses and a large external stack. It has narrow flanking sashes, with eight lights on the ground floor and six lights above, both featuring moulded stone architraves with keystones.
On the left return side, there are two two-storey polygonal bay windows with triple-hung sashes on the ground floor, while the first floor has round-arched sashes facing the front. The hipped roofs are adorned with chamfered stone architraves that have moulded cornices, which continue as a string course. The front of the building faces the churchyard and consists of a 1-1-3-2-1 bay arrangement, with gables throughout. The first bay is a single storey with an attic, and a three-bay range projects slightly, featuring a high parapet with three ogee gables. The cross-wing on the right is set back slightly and resembles the entrance front. The sashes have moulded stone architraves with keystones, with some possibly being late 20th-century insertions.
Inside, there is a 19th-century dog-leg staircase with vertically symmetrical balusters and some six-panelled doors.
