The Old Vicarage And Honeysuckle Cottage And Old Vicarage Cottage And Numbers 1 And 2 Eriskay

The Old Vicarage, along with Honeysuckle Cottage, Old Vicarage Cottage, and Numbers 1 and 2 Eriskay, is a former vicarage, likely dating from the late 17th century or earlier, although significantly altered in later centuries. The building is constructed of roughcast cob and stone with some brick, and has a hipped slate roof with deep eaves and brick chimney stacks.

The internal layout is unclear due to a lack of inspection, but the building has an overall U-shape with a narrow courtyard opening to the west towards St Andrew Street. There are two relatively formal elevations, facing south and east. A main staircase is situated within the east block, and the north wing may have originally been a carriage house.

The south front is asymmetrical, originally featuring five windows, now divided into three and two windows. A 20th-century front door is located to the left of the centre. To the right of this is a French window with high transoms and panelled shutters, situated beneath a slate-roofed verandah supported by slender iron columns. A further 20th-century door is at the right end of the elevation. The first floor has five windows of varying sizes, many being 2- and 3-light casements with small panes and margin panes, although one lacks margin panes.

The symmetrical east elevation, dating from around 1810, has boxed eaves and a central doorcase featuring pilasters with banded rustication, sunken panels, and a pediment. The front door is panelled with a deep overlight. The ground floor windows are tall 2-light French windows with high transoms, while the first floor outer windows are hornless 16-pane sashes. The central first floor window is a small-pane 2-light casement with margin panes. A stair window is present on the rear elevation of this block.

The interior has not been inspected, but is likely to contain features of interest, including surviving panelled shutters.
