Description
The Old Vicarage is a house, originally dating to the 17th and 18th centuries, and significantly remodelled around 1850. Constructed of coursed limestone rubble, the building has a tiled roof and stone chimney stacks. It is arranged in an L-shape, with two main stories and an attic. The front has a central sash window with side lights, and a wooden lintel above. Smaller, similar windows are located on either side. The first floor features sash windows with side lights and wooden lintels to the outer bays, and a plain sash window in the centre. There are three 19th-century gabled dormers in the attic. The gables have coping stones and kneelers. A 19th-century stone porch, with a battlemented parapet, sits on the right side; it has a doorway with a four-centred stone arch and a partly glazed door, and a sash window on the first floor. A 19th-century gabled extension, with an oriel window, projects from the left side. Inside, there is an open fireplace with a timber bressumer. The staircase is from the 19th century, with twisted balusters and a curved handrail. The remodelling of around 1850 is attributed to G.E. Street.
