Description
The Old Vicarage is a house dating from the early 18th century, constructed of red brick with a plain tiled roof. It stands two storeys high with an attic, set on a plinth that features a moulded plat band and a parapet at the roof. The house has stacks located at the rear left, centre left, and end right, along with four flat-roofed dormers. There are four glazing bar sash windows on the first floor and six on the ground floor. A central canted bay window on the first floor is supported by fluted Doric columns, which form a porch for the panelled door that has a fluted surround. The property has extensive wings at the rear.
Attached garden walls flank the house on both sides, standing about 8 feet high. The lower section of these walls is made of early 18th-century brick, while the upper section is from the later 18th century. The walls project approximately 20 yards in front of the house, with the left-hand wall returning to the left for about 30 yards and including wooden gates.
