Description
The Old Vicarage is a former vicarage dating to the 17th century. The front of the building is roughcast on a rubble base, with a rendered end featuring rubble string courses. It has steep, dry slate roofs and both rubble gable and rendered lateral rubble stacks. The building follows a single-depth plan and is two storeys high on the left side and three storeys high on the right. The facade originally featured a two-window range. The windows are mostly mid-to-late 19th-century four-pane hornless sashes, with an older nine-pane casement window on the second floor of the taller section. A doorway on the right side of the lower range has a late 17th or 18th-century frame and a 20th-century partly-glazed door. A 19th-century slit-ledged door is situated at the far right. The return side of the building exhibits three rubble string courses and a truncated external stack on the right. There is one window to each floor on this side, featuring mid-to-late 19th-century four-pane sashes, except for a later horned sash on the ground floor. The interior was inaccessible during the survey but is likely of architectural interest.
