Description

The Old Vicarage is a house that was originally built as a vicarage in 1792, according to the diary of James Frampton, and was enlarged in the 19th century. The building features brick walls and tiled roofs, with some roofs having stone eaves courses. A brick dentil cornice runs along the eaves, and there are brick stacks. The house is two storeys high with attics and has an irregular plan due to the enlargement.

The main garden front, which faces east, has three pairs of glazed doors with ornamental fanlights on the ground floor. The first floor contains three double-hung sash windows with glazing bars, while the attic has two gabled dormers, each with double-hung sashes also featuring glazing bars. The entrance is located on the west side and includes a 6-panel moulded panel door topped with a flat hood supported by carved console brackets. The ground and first floors have additional double-hung sash windows with glazing bars, along with various built-up windows.

Inside, the vicarage retains several original panelled doors. The staircase landing is adorned with a trellis-type balustrade.
