Description
The Old Vicarage is a former vicarage that has been converted into a private detached house. It dates partly from the 17th century, was enlarged in the 19th century, and has some additions from the 20th century. The building features mostly coursed rock-faced masonry with alternating flush quoins, while the 17th-century section is rendered. The roof is primarily covered with stone slates, although some inner pitches have concrete tiles, and the cross wing has a slate roof. Small stone stacks are present.
The structure is a double range with a cross range to the right and a small single-storey extension at the far right, along with a projecting two-storey porch located to the right of the center. It stands two storeys tall. The oldest section, which is in the front range to the left, has two windows on the ground floor, both featuring 4-light hollow moulded stone mullions with square hoodmoulds. Above these, there are paired 19th-century casements. The 19th-century cross range to the right includes leaded 4-light stone mullions and transoms with a king mullion on each floor. The 19th-century gabled porch features a 3-light leaded stone mullion above a flush stone Tudor archway, which has a vertical battened door. Above the doorway is a carved lexicon stone.
