Description
The Old Vicarage is a house that was formerly a vicarage, built between 1870 and 1871 by Sir George Gilbert Scott. It features red and blue brick construction with a brick plinth and some ornamental half-timbering with patterned brick infill. The roof is tiled and has a cusped ridge, ornamental bargeboards, and brick stacks with pilasters. This building is designed in the Arts and Crafts Vernacular Revival style and has two storeys, a cellar, and an attic.
The front of the house has three asymmetrical bays, with the outer bays projecting and featuring half-timbered gables. The windows are irregular, consisting of wooden mullions and transoms. The wider right-hand bay has a half-timbered first floor that juts out on wooden brackets and brick corbels, along with a four-light oriel window on brackets and a jettied gable. The central bay includes a panelled, half-glazed door set within a timber gabled porch that has cusping on the open side panels. To the right, there is a square two-storey porch set back in the angle.
