Description

The Old Vicarage, including the garden walls and gate piers, is a vicarage built around the mid-19th century. The building is roughcast, likely originally stuccoed, and features a hipped slate roof with two brick chimney stacks. It has a rectangular plan with a double depth layout, consisting of two main rooms at the front, one on either side of an entrance hall that has a dog-leg staircase behind it. There is a 20th-century single-storey rear lean-to with a corrugated asbestos roof.

The exterior is two storeys high and has a symmetrical three-bay east front with deep eaves and eaves brackets. It features a central Tuscan porch with a half-glazed front door that includes glazing bars, margin glazing, and a rectangular fanlight with glazing bars. The ground floor has 16-pane timber sash windows, while the first floor has three 12-pane sash windows. The rear elevation includes a round-headed stair window with glazing bars. The north elevation has a shallow two-storey 20th-century lean-to and one 20th-century window, while the south elevation has two first-floor and two ground-floor 12-pane sash windows, along with a 20th-century single-storey bay window to the right featuring two-pane sashes.

The interior has not been fully inspected, but it retains some 19th-century joinery, including a stick baluster staircase and doors, as well as at least one marble chimneypiece from the 19th century. The listing also includes tall stone rubble garden walls to the south of the house, which have rectangular gate piers. The vicarage is located immediately west of the church and has group value with the church and nearby buildings, Newhouse and Barne End.
