Description
The Old Vicarage, including the attached stables at the rear, is a former vicarage now serving as a private house. It was built in the mid-19th century and features ashlar stone walls and stone slate roofs with coped gables and octagonal ashlar stacks topped with moulded caps, all in the Gothic Revival style. The building is two storeys high, with the main elevation displaying a slightly projecting gable on the left. This gable features a two-storeyed canted bay window, with stone mullioned and transomed windows with lead lights on both floors. There is a moulded string course at the top of the ground floor windows, and the gable has a deep moulded plinth, while the entire frontage has a lower moulded plinth.
On the right side, there is a four-centred moulded arched doorway leading to an inner porch, which has a part-glazed inner door. The ground floor has one stone mullioned window with lead lights, and there are two more on the first floor. At the rear, there are two parallel gabled projections with a wide valley gutter, and the walls in this area are partially plastered. There is a lean-to extension at the end of the right projection with a concrete tiled roof.
Connected to the house by a garden wall is a former stable block, now used as garages. This stable block has rubble stone walls and a stone slate roof, featuring an L-shaped plan with a gabled projection at the left end. It includes two pairs of timber double garage doors, one of which has a loft door above, and two casement windows with lead lights.
