Description
The Old Vicarage is a 17th century former vicarage that was extended and altered in the 19th century. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble and features a Welsh slate roof with a gable end facing the road. The main block, which is three storeys high, has three leaded casements on the second floor and three casements with glazing bars on the first floor. The ground floor includes two French doors that are enclosed under a lean-to conservatory, as well as a canted bay window on the right side. There is a two-storey section to the west; the first floor has a left-hand three-light leaded casement with a high-level transom and a right-hand two-light casement with glazing bars. The ground floor features a similar left-hand casement, a central leaded casement, and right-hand half-glazed French doors beneath a bracketed doorhood.
