Description
The Old Vicarage is a house built in 1836 by the builder John Bunn. It features walls made of pebble flint with gault dressings and a slate roof. The building is a free-standing neo-classical rectangle. The entrance front, facing north, has two storeys and six bays. It includes a brick plinth, a string course at the first floor, and end quoins. The window openings are quoined with gauged brick and have flat arches. On the first floor, there are sash windows with glazing bars above the porch, while the flanking windows are blank. The two western end bays have 20th-century windows on both the ground and first floors, and there is a 20th-century glazed porch. The garden front, facing east, features three ground floor and four first floor sash windows with glazing bars. There is an off-centre door with a part glazed rectangular top light. The roof has a shallow hipped pitch with overhanging eaves and two stacks aligned on the garden front axis.
