Description

The Old Vicarage is a former vicarage now used as a house, built in 1657 with additions from the 18th and early 19th centuries. The main structure is timber framed and covered with channelled render on the first floor, while the ground floor features a mix of painted brick and render. It has a plain tile roof and is designed with a symmetrical lobby entry plan, positioned at right angles to the street. The building stands two storeys high with attics on a stone plinth and has a central multiple brick ridge stack.

The front elevation includes two gabled eaves dormers, each with a small two-light leaded casement, and irregular fenestration with one three-light leaded casement beneath each dormer. There is a central rendered porch with a gable that rises to the eaves of the main range, which has a blocked doorway. A boarded door is located towards the rear of the left gable.

To the left at the rear is an 18th-century addition made of painted brick on a stone plinth, featuring a plat band, a moulded wooden eaves cornice, and a hipped plain-tile roof. This addition has one 18-pane sash window on the first floor facing the road and two horizontally-sliding sash windows on the ground floor. An early 19th-century addition fills the re-entrant angle to the right, also made of painted brick on a stone plinth, with a hipped slate roof. This section has two 12-pane sash windows on the right side, each with iron balconettes, and a doorway with a moulded architrave in a shallow rendered porch at the junction with the main range. The interior has not been inspected. The building is recorded as dated 1657 in parish records.
