Description
The Old Vicarage is a mid-18th century vicarage that has been converted into a house, with some alterations made in the 19th century. It is constructed of stone ashlar and features a stone slate roof, along with stone stacks at the ends and a ridge stack positioned to the left of the center. The building has two storeys and an attic, presenting a four-bay, three-window facade.
The central entrance is a four-panel part-glazed door, which is sheltered by a 19th-century stone gabled porch. To the right of the entrance, there are two 12-pane unhorned sash windows with wooden lintels on both the ground and first floors. On the left side, there is a two-storey 19th-century angled bay that contains horned sash windows and has a hipped roof. A 20th-century gabled full dormer is located at the center of the attic. Additionally, there is a 19th-century two-storey cross-wing to the right, which also features twelve-pane horned sashes on both floors. The interior of the building has not been inspected.
