Description

The Old Vicarage is a house dating back to the 17th century, significantly altered and refronted in the early 18th century, with further changes around 1820 and in the mid-19th century. The building is primarily brick to the front, with stone and brick dressings on the sides, some 19th-century brickwork to the right, and timber framing visible internally. The rear has an old tile roof, while the main part of the building features a hipped slate roof dating from around 1820.

The main east front has two wide bays. A taller, gabled bay was added in the mid-19th century. The ground floor has two box sash windows on either side of a blocked central doorway, with a band course above. Five first-floor box sash windows are present, the second, fourth, and fifth windows having thick, early 18th-century glazing bars and segmental arches. A moulded timber cornice runs along the top. A central stack is a feature, and the house was formerly designed with a lobby entry plan. The mid-19th century bay has a later two-storey canted bay window and polychrome brickwork. A lean-to porch with a slate roof shelters the south-facing entrance, which is accessed through sash windows.

Inside, rooms on the ground and first floors of the 17th-century range retain early 17th-century panelling. A ground-floor overmantel bears arcaded panels featuring an inscription, 'Virtutis Amore'. Furthermore, stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops and a cross beam are present in the right-hand ground floor room. Timber framing is visible in the rear wall of the front range and in the north-west service wing.
