Description

The Old Vicarage is a house, likely dating from the mid-18th century with extensions added in the early 19th century. It is constructed of cement-rendered walls, with the extension featuring V-jointed painted quoins. The roof is covered in graduated greenslate, with a hipped roof on the extension, and the building has brick chimney stacks. The main section of the house has two storeys and three bays. A projecting two-bay extension to the left extends to the rear of the main house in an L-shape, and a further entrance extension, of the same height as the extension, fills the angle between the two buildings. There is a panelled door with a radial fanlight, set within a painted stone surround. Most windows are sash windows with glazing bars in painted stone surrounds, though a ground-floor window to the right has a double sash without glazing bars. The end wall on the left side of the building is slate hung.

The Old Vicarage sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,200 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 91% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 86% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 55 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 95% of listed buildings. Of these, 30 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.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
