Description
The Old Vicarage is a detached house dating from around 1800. It features rubble-stone walls and a brick facade laid in Flemish bond, with stone rusticated quoins and a brick plat band between the ground and first floor. The roof is hipped and covered with slate, including parallel rear roofs, and there are two stone stacks with moulded cornices on the rear ridges, along with one 20th-century stack on the left rear gable. The building has two storeys and a cellar below.
The front facade includes three tripartite sash windows with glazing bars, and a single sash window in the centre of the upper floor. The front door, located at the centre, is flush-panelled with panelled reveals and a moulded architrave, topped by a semi-circular fanlight. There is a wooden canopy above the door, featuring a dentil cornice and moulded wooden brackets, both from the 19th century. Inside, there is a wide elliptical-arched recess with ribbed panels in the front left gable wall, along with a palmette cornice and window shutters.
