The Old Vicarage

The Old Vicarage is a house, now partly offices, with origins dating back to the 15th century and a hall rebuilt in the early 18th century. Subsequent extensions were added in the 18th, early to mid 19th, and 20th centuries. The original cross wing is timber-framed and rendered, while later extensions are brick, whitewashed. The roofs are tiled and slated. Only the cross wing remains of the original structure, making the original layout unclear.

The house is two storeys and has attics. The front features a gable over the cross wing. On the ground floor, a plank and muntin door is set to the left, with a 19th-century rectangular bay to the right. This bay has a brick and ashlar base incorporating a 15th-century blind arcade with trefoils and intersecting arches, along with a 10-light timber mullion and transom casement with a moulded surround. The first floor is jettied, supported by a moulded bressumer. An oriel window with 10 lights sits above, supported by brackets. To the left of the cross wing is a rebuilt hall range with a taller ridge. The roof slopes down over two bays of a single-storey outshut, featuring dentilled eaves and a front stack. A small gabled projection extends from the left return of the cross wing, over the hall. To the left of the cross wing is a renewed hall range. The front elevation has large horizontal sliding sashes. A two-storey block likely dating from the early to mid 19th century is situated to the right of the cross wing, projecting forward. The re-entrant angle showcases two-light Gothick windows with leaded panes; ground floor windows have segmental heads with hood moulds. A cast-iron verandah, with slim colonnettes and arched braces, runs along the front of the ground floor.

The garden front, or right return, has three bays. It features ground floor French windows and a continuous verandah. The first floor has a sash window to the left, and two two-light casements, all set within moulded architraves. The eaves are boxed. There are two separate hipped roofs, and a stack is positioned on the right side of the 15th-century wing, where it joins the 19th-century addition. At the rear, a one-bay section has a verandah on the 19th-century block. The 15th-century wing projects forward, featuring ground-floor Gothick windows in a canted bay, a first-floor two-light casement, and a Gothick attic light. An 18th-century two-storey block projects to the rear, to the right of the 15th-century wing, with ground floor French windows and a first-floor two-light casement and horizontal sliding sash. The rear features a hipped roof.

Internally, the house reveals a hollow chamfered ground floor binding beam, an arch braced clasped purlin roof, and curved windbraces.
