Description
The Old Vicarage is a vicarage that has been converted into a private house, dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of gault and red brick, topped with slate roofs. The building has two storeys and features five bays, with the central three bays projecting slightly forward. There is a string course at the first floor level and a pedimented porch located to the right of the centre. To the right of the porch, there is a French window, along with three 20th-century casement windows. On the first floor, there are two mid-19th century sash windows flanking a blind window, with one blocked window in the recessed bays. The roof is hipped and there are two asymmetrical stacks.
