Description

The Old Vicarage is a house that was formerly the vicarage, dating from the early 18th century with later additions in the 18th and early 19th centuries. The building is constructed of witchert, which is colourwashed and rendered, and has masonry that is scribed. It has been extended with colourwashed and rendered rubblestone, and features an early 19th-century wing made of rubblestone with cement dressings. The roofs are covered with old tiles.

The house has a letter-L plan with a west cross wing added in the early 19th century and is two storeys high. The north front consists of four bays, with the two left bays made of witchert and the right bays of rubblestone. There is a six-panel door located in the third bay from the left, which is sheltered by a tiled verandah-porch. The bay to the left of the door has a canted bay window with a slate roof, while the left bay features a two-light leaded casement window from the 18th century on the ground floor. The upper floor has three-light casements in the three bays. The eaves are decorated with dentil detailing, and stacks flank the two left bays. The right-hand bay is gabled and projects forward.

The windows are arch-headed and set within rusticated architrave frames, complete with hood moulds. There is a cross window on the ground floor and a two-light window at the front. The design includes flanking pilaster features and a gable with a parapet sill and coping bands in a Gothick style. The right-hand elevation has a stack, and the rear of the wing features a bay window. In the angle of the 'L' at the rear, there is a colourwashed brick staircase projection from the later 18th century. The east range has a hipped south gable. There are outbuildings made of rubblestone that extend east from the east range, forming a small courtyard.

Inside, there is a staircase dating from around 1780, which features diagonal cross balustrading and a moulded handrail.
