Description
The Old Vicarage is a mid-18th century house constructed from rubble stone with ashlar dressings. It has a basement and two and a half storeys, topped by a stone tiled roof featuring corniced stone and brick end wall stacks and coped gable ends. The front of the house is formal with two windows and a central plain pediment that is elevated from the flanking ashlar eaves band, supported by broad console brackets. A round-headed attic window with a keystone is set within the pediment. The ground and first floors have 16-pane sash windows, which are adorned with rubble stone voussoirs and an ashlar keystone. The basement windows have cambered heads. On the east side, there is an 8-panel door with a cambered head in a painted stone raised surround, which features shoulders and a flush keystone. A first-floor window is also set in a cambered head surround. The rear has a coped gable with a stone sundial panel at the top. Additionally, there is an early 19th-century chequered brick extension on the west side at the rear, which has a parapet.
