Description
The Old Vicarage and Old Glebe House is a former detached vicarage that has been converted into two houses. It dates from the early to mid-18th century and was significantly enlarged around 1854 by the architect G.F. Bodley. The building is constructed of coursed rubble limestone with ashlar chimneys and a concrete tile roof. It has two storeys with an attic and features an irregular plan.
The front of the building has two projecting wings. The left wing has two parapet gables of different sizes, with a two-light casement window on each floor. The right wing features a two-light window above a doorway that has a pointed relieving arch. There are also slit vents in the attic. The central section has a three-light casement window on each floor, while the right gabled wing has a single mullioned and transomed casement window on each floor.
On the south-west side, the gable end of the earlier house is visible to the left, which includes a blocked two-light casement window on the ground floor and attic, along with a 19th-century mullioned and transomed casement on the upper floor. The main part of the 19th-century house to the right features a tall, attenuated bay window with a lean-to roof next to a projecting chimney stack. The fenestration includes mullioned windows, with one casement having a relieving arch.
At the rear, there are two upper floor two-light mullioned casements with hood moulds on the earlier part of the house to the right, and the gable end of a cross-wing to the left. This building is noted as probably Bodley's first domestic work.
