Description

The Old Vicarage is a house built in the second half of the 18th century for Reverend R. Gregg, with alterations made in the early 19th century. The front features Flemish bond brickwork, while the sides and extension are in English garden wall bond. The roof is tiled, with slate on the rear wing. The building has a hollow square layout, with each side being one room deep. The main front is three and a half storeys high, while the rest is two storeys.

The main facade has windows with stone sills and flat rubbed brick arches. A central half-glazed door is accessed by two stone steps and has a moulded surround with flush panels in the reveals. This door is flanked by sash windows. On the first floor, there are sash windows on either side of a central sash with a semi-circular head, accompanied by blind single-lights to create a false Venetian window. The second floor features three sash windows and a dentil course at the eaves. Brick gable chimneys are present, with dentil courses at the caps.

The right return has blind openings on the left side of each floor with cambered brick arches, while the right side has a four-pane casement on the ground floor and sash windows above. The rear of the front wing, facing the courtyard, has blind openings and two 2-light casements in the dormers.

Inside, the entrance hall has a floor above the rooms on each side, with the left side featuring a plastered barrel vault. The staircase has a moulded handrail, turned newels, and plain, slightly rectangular balusters. On the first floor, doors have six fielded panels, and there are panelled shutters in the left room, along with folding panelled doors to the room behind. This room also has a moulded plaster cornice and a tripartite window. The second floor doors have four fielded panels, and there is a moulded stone surround to the fireplace in the right room, which includes a cast-iron grate with a swivel support for a kettle.

Originally, the house was built as two parallel wings connected only by an open courtyard, with the wings on each side added in the 19th century.
