Description

The Old Parsonage is a house that was formerly a vicarage, built around 1840 to 1850. It features a combination of plastered rubble and exposed rubble and brick at the rear, with rubble stacks topped by 19th-century brick chimney shafts and a slate roof. The building is a two-storey, two-room double depth house that faces southeast and has a central staircase plan. The front rooms have projecting end stacks, while the rear rooms have lateral stacks. There is a service wing that projects forward from the right (northeastern) end, which may be an addition.

The nearly symmetrical front has three windows, with the left bay slightly recessed. The central entrance features a late 19th-century four-panel door with panelled reveals, sheltered by a contemporary wooden trellis porch that has a slate roof and a gabled design with a four-centred front arch. On either side of the door are late 19th to early 20th-century French windows with glazing bars. The first floor has three original 12-pane sash windows with margin panes, all under moulded stucco Tudor-style hoodmoulds. The eaves are plain and deep, supported by pairs of shaped brackets, and the low pitch roof is hipped at both ends.

The rear elevation has brick surrounds on its apertures, including a high 24-pane sash window for the stairs, a 12-pane sash with margin panes at the left end, and other 12-pane sashes. The service block features late 19th to early 20th-century casements with glazing bars. The interior has not been inspected.
