Description
The Old Parsonage is a vicarage built in the late 19th century. It features a limestone plinth and a bright red brick ground floor, with a timber-framed upper floor and gables. The roof is covered in fish-scale tiles and has two large, modelled brick stacks. This L-plan villa is designed in a 19th-century Tudor style, using brick and timber instead of the stone typically found in this area, and includes decorative barge boards.
The building is 1½ storeys tall, with a single-windowed gable facing the road that has a jetty, a two-windowed return, and a one-windowed gable on the return wing to the right, also with a jetty. It features various casement windows, including a 1:5:1 oriel on the street gable and a small 1:2:1 oriel on the return. The hipped roofs are tiled, and there are three-light gabled dormers on coved bases with decorative barges. In the internal angle, there is a timber-checked gabled porch with a plane door. All windows are adorned with leading in a combination of octagons and squares. The Old Parsonage is a well-preserved and externally unchanged example of its architectural style.
