Description

The Old Vicarage is a detached house that was originally built as a vicarage in 1818 by T and J Prangley of Heytesbury. The building features Flemish bond brick on the front, English garden wall bond on the sides, and chalk and flint bands on the rear, topped with a Welsh slate roof and brick stacks. There is an integral two-storey outshut at the rear.

The front elevation is two storeys high with three windows, and the entrance is located on the right return. The ground floor has two 15-pane sash windows with margin panes, while the first floor has three 12-pane sash windows with margin panes, all featuring cambered heads. The right return includes a half-glazed door in a porch and a 12-pane sash window to the right, with a three-light casement window on the first floor. Attached to the left side is a brick scullery with a hipped roof.

At the rear, there is a central blocked doorway with an inserted 12-pane sash window, flanked by one three-light casement window on each side. The first floor has a central 12-pane sash window with two-light casement windows on either side. Inside, the house features internal shutters on the windows, stone fireplaces with reeded surrounds and paterae in the main rooms, and moulded plaster ceiling cornices.
