The Old Vicarage

The Old Vicarage is a parsonage house dating to the 18th century, with significant additions from the 1840s and 1850s commissioned by Rev. Edward Dix. It is constructed of local killas rubble with a slate roof. The original structure was a long, single-range building, later extended in the mid-19th century with a front block. This created a double-pile building with two reception rooms and a central stair hall, resulting in a symmetrical south front typical of fashionable homes. Inside, a transverse passage separates the kitchen from a former library, with service rooms located in the west end of the earlier build. The two-storey elevation features three bays, with a central, blank doorway. It has plate glass sashes on the ground floor and six-pane sashes on the first floor. The roof is hipped. The interior features panelled shutters in the main reception rooms on the south front, and a staircase with timber turned newels. Contemporary timber fireplaces are present, although the library features a marble surround, along with recessed shelving. The drawing room has an iron surround to the fireplace, and later 19th-century fireplace inserts are found on the first floor. Both the dining room and drawing room are adorned with moulded and enriched cornices.
