Description
The Old Vicarage is a former rectory house built around 1800. It features coursed, squared, galleted carstone blocks and slate roofs, and is two storeys tall. The entrance facade faces southeast and has a regular four-bay layout, while the southwest facade is irregular with four bays. The entrance front includes brick-dressed end strip pilasters, with the outer bays slightly recessed. There are three ground floor sash windows with glazing bars, two of which are under brick arches, and the two central windows were originally under rounded brick arches but are now partly obscured by a late 19th-century wooden and partly glazed porch addition. On the first floor, there are four sash windows with glazing bars.
The southwest garden facade has two northwest bays, each with two ground and two first floor sashes that have flush brick rusticated surrounds and flat arches. At the center, there is a two-storey segmental bow made of carstone and brick, featuring one ground and one first-floor curved tripartite sash with glazing bars; the ground floor is under flat rubbed brick arches, while the first floor has wooden lintels with a brick parapet above. To the southeast, there is a single bay with one ground and one first floor sash with glazing bars. The building has deep eaves and a hipped, low-pitched roof, with two ridge stacks on the south ridge and two off-ridge stacks on the southeast ridge.
