Description
The Old Vicarage is a house, originally built in the 17th century and altered in the 19th century. It was formerly the vicarage for the parish. The house is timber-framed with a roughcast exterior and coursed rubble to the east gable, all colourwashed. It has a red tile roof. The original layout comprised three rooms, with a single storey and attics. On the ground floor, the left-hand side has French windows with geometrical glazing bars, leading to a large lean-to conservatory. A gabled brick porch is centrally positioned, featuring a pointed arched entrance, flanked by a single light window with a pointed arched head and a 3-light 20th-century casement. The attic has three gabled dormers, each with a 2-light casement window. A substantial red brick chimney stack serves two rooms on the left-hand side, featuring four linked diagonal shafts on a square base. All gables have cusped bargeboards with moulded finials. A colourwashed, two-storey brick wing was added in the 19th century, projecting from the rear east end.
