Description
The Old Vicarage is a house that was originally a vicarage, built in the late 17th century and rebuilt around 1726. It features squared and coursed limestone construction with a gabled stone slate roof and moulded stone end stacks. The building is designed in an L-shape with a rear right wing and has two storeys plus an attic, presenting a symmetrical five-window facade. The entrance includes a 20th-century door with an overlight, and there are 17th-century carved stone brackets supporting a flat hood over chamfered stone-mullioned and transomed cross windows. A raised string course and gabled roof dormers add to the architectural detail. To the right, there is an outshut with a stone slate roof. At the rear, a late 18th-century two-storey wing and an outshut with a concrete tile roof can be found. Inside, there is a fine early 18th-century dog-leg staircase with winders and turned balusters set on a closed string, as well as an early 19th-century marble fireplace on the left. The building was reported as "decayed and ruinous" at the time of its rebuilding in 1726.
