Description
The Old Vicarage is a house, originally built circa 1770 and later extended in the late 19th century. It was constructed as the vicarage for Reverend Price, who held the position from 1763 to 1776. The building is of red brick with incised line pointing, featuring narrow dentil eaves, a hipped roof covered in old tiles, and brick chimneys with offset heads; a 19th-century brick chimney on the right side has pilasters and strings. The house has two storeys and cellars, with three bays on the front. It has tripartite sash windows with glazing bars and gauged heads, along with two blocked cellar openings with segmental heads. The central entrance has a door composed of six octagonal moulded panels, a moulded wooden architrave surround and a wooden cornice supported by shaped scroll brackets with guttae. A 20th-century paired metal casement occupies the ground floor to the left of the front, and two 19th-century sash windows are above. A small, flat-roofed, single-storey extension from the 20th century is located to the right. A 19th-century brick extension to the rear has two storeys and two bays of paired sash windows overlooking the garden. A semi-octagonal projection houses the staircase at the rear of the original wing, forming an angle with the 19th-century block.
