Description

The Old Vicarage is a large house dating from the mid-18th century with additions in the early 19th century. It is constructed of painted brickwork with a tiled roof and has a symmetrical east front of two storeys and an attic, featuring a 3-window-by-3-window arrangement. The roof is plain, with stone copings to the gable ends and a central pediment-gable above a slightly projecting centrepiece. There are brick dentil eaves running continuously along the front and a hipped slate roof to a lower wing on the north side. The walls are built with a pattern of headers, with rubbed flat arches, stone sills, and a plinth. The openings on either side of the central entrance have been filled; the front features sash windows in reveals, a Venetian window above the doorway, and a roundel in the pediment. An open porch with an oval plan features a Doric order of two columns and two-and-a-half columns on a stone step, and includes an architrave, panelled reveals, and a six-panelled door. The west rear elevation is divided into two sections, suggesting different periods of construction, and has varying patterns of window placement, including six flat-roofed dormers. This section is rendered with a plinth and includes large and small sash windows in reveals, a Venetian staircase window, a French window, and a six-panelled door. The north wing has a door on the north side and a sash window on the west side. Internally, an 18th-century staircase is present.
