Description
The Old Vicarage, now a detached house, was built in 1832 by William Franklin for Thomas Keble. It is constructed of ashlar limestone, features ashlar chimneys, and has a stone slate roof, all in the Gothic style. The building is two stories high with a square plan and a central stair hall.
On the west side, the facade is symmetrical with outer parts that form corner pavilions topped with hipped roofs. The windows in these projecting sections are single-window fenestrations, featuring mullioned casements with Tudor-headed lights and hoodmoulds; there are three lights on the ground floor and two lights above. The central entrance has a Tudor-arched moulded doorway with double doors, and above it is a two-light window flanked by small Tudor-arched single-light casements, also with hoodmoulds.
The south side mirrors the west side but includes a single-storey rectangular bay window on the left, which has a coped top and Tudor-arched casements. There are two 2-light casements in the central recessed section of this elevation. The roof features two ridge-mounted chimney clusters, with the left cluster having two diagonal shafts and the right cluster having three, all with moulded caps.
The east side presents a secondary asymmetrical elevation, with the right part projecting forward. There is a doorway on the left with a flat stone porch hood supported by shaped brackets and a six-panel door. Above this door is a tall 2-light casement. The property is enclosed by a length of spear-topped iron railings with urn finials on the principal posts, complemented by a matching iron gate. The Old Vicarage is a significant example of the early Gothic revival and its chimneys contribute notably to the surrounding townscape near the churchyard.
