The Old Vicarage

The Old Vicarage is a 19th-century vicarage, now a private house, dated 1875 by a stone inscription. It’s constructed from roughly coursed granite rubble with granite and brick dressings. The roof is of dry Delabole slate, hipped with dormers, and has projecting eaves with moulded rafter ends and verges. Stone axial stacks and a stack over the right-hand cross wall towards the rear are prominent features.

The building follows a rectangular, double-depth, three-room plan, comprising an entrance hall with a stair hall to the left, a study to the far left, and two reception rooms at the rear facing the garden. A lean-to addition extends from the right side.

The front elevation is asymmetrical, with five windows and two dormers breaking the eaves. A pointed arched doorway is located under a dormer on the left, another dormer is positioned towards the right, both featuring original 12-pane hornless sashes. A stair window, also with a similar sash, sits under the eaves to the right of the doorway. The other window openings are small and irregularly sized. The rear garden front is symmetrical, with three windows on each floor. The ground floor has paired windows, while the first floor features gabled dormers – all with original 12-pane hornless sashes and concealed sash boxes.

Inside, the vicarage retains much of its original carpentry and joinery. Notable are the open-well stair with octagonal balusters and moulded hand-rail and the original four-panel doors.
