Description
The Old Vicarage is a house that was once an alehouse, dating from the 17th century, with extensions made around 1800 and in the mid-19th century. It features a timber frame that has been refronted with red and blue brick, and has fish-scale tile hanging on the right side. The roof is plain tiled and has a lobby entry plan. The main range is one storey with an attic, set on a plinth, and displays brickwork from two periods, with the later 18th-century brickwork on the left. The roof has two gabled dormers with moulded sills and bargeboards, and there are stacks at the rear centre and a cluster to the centre right. The return hip of the rear wing oversails the roof ridge to the right. The front has four leaded cross-windows with segmental heads and shutters, and a door to the centre right that has six raised and fielded panels, along with a 19th-century gabled and half-timbered porch. To the right, there is a two-storey half-hipped wing, and at the rear, a rendered and slated wing with tripartite and margin light sashes in moulded surrounds. Inside, portions of the frame are visible.
