Description

The Old Vicarage is a house that was formerly a vicarage, featuring a core from the 17th century with significant remodelling in the late 18th century and a wing added around the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of stone rubble, which is whitewashed and rendered on the main part, while the front was originally slate-hung. The 19th-century wing has brick dressings. The roofs are slate, hipped at the ends, with the main range painted in bitumen. There is one large chimney stack at the rear of the main range and a brick stack for the wing.

The original 17th-century layout has been largely obscured by later changes but likely featured a through passage plan with one lateral and one gable end stack, the latter of which has been dismantled. In the 18th century, the house was extended at the front and re-roofed, while still retaining a wide through passage. The mid-19th-century wing was added to the right end, projecting to the rear and creating an L-shape.

The building has two storeys and presents a long, asymmetrical eight-bay garden front, with the two right-hand bays set back in the 19th-century wing. The six-bay main range facade includes a flat-roofed 20th-century porch at the fourth bay and a half-glazed wide front door from the late 18th century, featuring thick glazing bars. The windows on the main range facade are 12-pane boxed late 18th-century hornless sashes, mostly with crown glass. The wing has three 19th-century sashes and one 20th-century sash, all with glazing bars.

Inside, the 18th-century joinery includes two-panel and six-panel doors. Two first-floor rooms feature 18th-century panelling and panelled dados. The 18th-century staircase has turned balusters and was repaired and extended in the late 20th century.
