Description
The Old Vicarage is a mid-18th century vicarage, later converted into a house, with significant alterations made in the mid-19th century and again in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of brick, partly stuccoed, with a slate roof, right-end brick stacks, and a large external brick chimney on the left end. It is three storeys high and has a moulded eaves cornice. The façade is arranged with three bays, featuring end quoins. The windows on the first floor have moulded architraves; the outer bays have 12-pane sashes, while the central bay contains a narrower 8-pane sash. The second floor's outer bays have square 6-pane sashes, and the central bay has a 4-pane sash. A flat-roofed 19th-century addition projects from the front, topped with a moulded cornice and parapet. The left bay features a tripartite sash window with a central 12-pane sash, and the right bay has a 12-pane sash; both have pilastered surrounds. A distyle Doric portico of slender proportions provides access, leading to a doorway with a pilastered surround and an 8-panelled door, with the upper four panels glazed. Inside, at the rear of the central hall, is a small oval geometrical staircase. Later 20th-century alterations have taken place at the rear of the building.
