Description
The Old Vicarage is a house, formerly a vicarage, dating from the early 18th century with alterations made in the late 18th century. It has two storeys and three windows. The building is timber-framed and plastered, topped with plaintiled roofs. There is an 18th-century gable chimney and a 20th-century central chimney, both made of red brick. The windows are small-pane late 18th-century casements; the central opening section features narrow sidelights separated by heavy mullions, creating the appearance of sash windows with sidelights. The entrance porch, which is two-storey and from the early 18th century, has a gabled plaintiled roof. The door is panelled and half-glazed, set back between pilasters with sunk panels, and topped with a simple entablature and an altered pediment. The house has two adjacent rear wings, with the right wing likely dating from the early 18th century and the left wing being later.
