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.

The Old Vicarage sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 730 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 79% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 78% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 60% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
