Description

The Old Vicarage is a vicarage that has been converted into a house. It features a 17th-century wing on the left that was modified around 1873, and an early 18th-century block on the right. The building is constructed of English garden wall bond brick with limestone bands on the left, likely over a timber frame. The right side is made of coursed sarsen rubble with chalk bands and limestone quoins and dressings, while the original front wall on the right is in chalk ashlar with limestone quoins and dressings. The roof is made of stone slate, with tiles on the rear, and there are brick stacks.

The original layout of the early 18th-century house included a central staircase, with the 17th-century wing positioned parallel at the rear. The structure is two stories high and has a three-window range. The left gable wall features a pointed brick arch over the entry to a vestibule, along with a retaining arch and timber lintel above a five-light leaded casement window, which has been reset in a late 19th-century wall, and one 20th-century casement. The gabled wall has square returns to moulded kneelers.

The early 18th-century wall on the right has plain limestone architraves with raised keyblocks above four late 19th-century sash windows, a moulded cornice, and a hipped roof. The original early 18th-century front on the right side has a similar three-window range, but with two original sashes on the ground floor. One late 19th-century sash window blocks the original central door, and the left side is obscured by a school built around 1873. The building features a limestone storey band, chamfered quoining, and a moulded cornice, along with a ridge stack and a rear left lateral stack.

Inside, there is a 17th-century chamfered and stopped beam in the front left room, along with six- and two-panelled early 18th-century doors and panelled shutters. An early 18th-century fireplace with a stone moulded architrave is located in the first-floor rear right room. The early 18th-century dog-leg staircase with a landing on the centre right has turned balusters, and the early 18th-century section of the house features a three-bay collar-truss roof with butt purlins. Attached to the right wall is a school built around 1873, which also appears to be when the brick cladding was added to the left wing and late 19th-century sashes were inserted. There is a 20th-century lean-to against the left gable wall.
