Description

The Old Vicarage is a former vicarage that dates from the mid-18th century and early 19th century. It features a common internal remnant of a timber-framed wall from a building that originally occupied the site. The 18th-century section, which faces south, is two storeys high with attics and consists of four unequal bays, separated by a band between the floors. It is constructed of red brick with a plain tile roof that has shallow parapet gables and end stacks. The entrance includes an 18th-century door and doorcase.

The early 19th-century section facing the street is made of yellow gault brick and also has a plain tile roof. This part is symmetrical with two two-storey canted brick bays that are linked by a parapet, featuring hung sash windows with glazing bars. The central entrance has a half-glazed, panelled door with a plain pilastered doorcase and shaped brackets supporting the cornice. To the west, there is a rendered two-storey extension from the 19th century, which likely served as a servants' wing, and it includes hung sash windows.

Inside, the property boasts a fine early 19th-century staircase that rises to the attic floor, drop-shutters on the bay windows, two 19th-century chimney pieces, and several 18th-century doors.
