Description

The Old Vicarage is a former vicarage to the Church of St. John, now a private house. It dates from the late 18th century and has 19th-century extensions. The building features rubble stone walls that are brought to courses and rendered, with a slate roof that has oversailing gables and a decorative barge board on the east side. It has two storeys and the garden front includes four sash windows, with the central two projecting forward. These windows are topped with stone hoodmoulds and feature Gothick interlaced tracery in the left bay and the centre bay on the first floor. There is a late 20th-century door in the centre bay on the left. The main entrance door, located on the southwest front (the left return from the garden front), has four panels, with the top two featuring pointed arches and an interlaced tracery fanlight above. Additionally, there is a 19th-century gabled extension on the north side, which also has a decorative barge board.
