Description
The Old Vicarage is a house that was formerly a vicarage, dating from the 15th or early 16th century. It features a timber frame with painted brick infilling on the ground floor and rendered infilling on the first floor, topped by a plain tile roof. The building has two unequal-length hall bays and storeyed end bays, standing two storeys high on a stone plinth. The studding is broadly spaced, with a low former window cill across the right hall bay, and it includes tension braces and arch braces. The hall bays have a higher mid-rail, and the right gable end is jettied. The roof is hipped with gablets, and there is a multiple brick stack on the front slope of the roof, serving the narrow left hall bay. The fenestration is irregular, featuring one gabled 3-light eaves dormer in the centre of the right hall bay, a 2-light leaded casement in the right end bay, and small casements on the ground floor of each end bay. A diamond mullion window is present on the first floor of the right gable end, and there is a boarded door at the centre of the right hall bay. A weatherboarded rear wing is located to the right. The interior has not been inspected, but photographs are available in the National Monuments record.
