Description
The Old Vicarage is a vicarage, now a house, built around 1870 by Charles Buckeridge. It is constructed of knapped flint with brick dressings and features a plain-tile complex roof with brick stacks. The building has two storeys and a three-bay range. At the center, there is a two-storey gabled porch that contains a four-panel door. On either side of the porch, there are single-light transomed windows. The first floor of the porch has a two-light mullioned window with sash glazing and a brick relieving arch above it. On the right side, there is a two-storey, two-window range of mullion and transom windows, which have trefoil tops, except for an angled bay on the ground floor right that has a hipped plain tile roof. The left side features irregular fenestration of mullion and transom windows. The interior has not been inspected.
