Description

The Old Vicarage is a house that was formerly a vicarage, built in the mid to late 18th century and later altered and extended in the late 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed from vitreous header brick with red brick dressings and an ashlar plinth. The building features moulded brick eaves and brick coped gables, with the coping at the north end rebuilt in the 20th century. The rear wall is made of rubble stone with brick dressings, and the roof has two spans covered with old tiles.

The house is two storeys high and has three bays. The east front displays three-pane sash windows with thick glazing bars on the first floor and late 19th to 20th century sashes below. The central ground floor opening has been altered to a narrow sash, and all openings on this front feature segmental heads with painted stone keyblocks. The south end includes a large external chimney, blind windows, a later sash window in the attic, and a single-storey extension added in the 20th century. The north end has altered sashes, a canted bay window from the 19th to 20th century on the left, and a door set in a gabled porch on the right. Additionally, there is a two-storey brick extension at the rear dating from the late 19th to 20th century.
