Description
The Old Vicarage is a vicarage, later converted into a dwelling, dated 1838. It is constructed of good Cotswold ashlar with a chamfered plinth, cornice, and blocking, and has coped gables and a double-span slate roof. The main (south) front is two storeys high with a three-window arrangement, the central bay projecting forward with a gable containing a date stone, all built in a Tudor Gothic style. The windows are stone mullioned, with two lights each and Tudor-shaped heads with drip stones. Ground-floor windows also have a transom. The central entrance has a pair of doors, each with two vertical panels, and a four-centred fanlight with intersecting glazing bars, set within a Tudor-shaped surround with spandrels. A small lean-to extension is attached to the left side. The front facing the road has two coped gables and is two and a half storeys high, with a one-plus-one window arrangement. The windows have nine panes over twelve panes, with drip stones. There is also a flat-roofed canted bay with deep windows arranged in a 10:15:10 pane pattern, and small lancet windows with drip stones in each gable. It is a well-preserved and excellent example of its style.
