Description
The Old Vicarage is a former vicarage built in the early 19th century. It features stone walls that are rendered and painted, and has a slate roof with gable ends. There are brick stacks at each gable, with the left-hand stack being from the 20th century. The building is two storeys high with attics and has four windows, which are sash style with thin glazing bars. The upper set of windows has been renewed in the 20th century, and the third window on the first floor is blocked. The stone cills support two dormer windows that are fixed with glazing bars and have hipped slate roofs. The front door, located to the left of centre, is flush-panelled with four lights in the upper half and dates from the 19th century.
