Description
The Old Vicarage is a former vicarage that has been converted into a private house. It dates from the 17th century, with alterations made in the early to mid-19th century. The building features coursed squared gritstone, rubble, and ashlar on the ground floor, with squared gritstone blocks on the second floor, topped by a graduated stone slate roof. It stands three storeys tall and has four bays. The corners of the building are accentuated with quoins.
The entrance, located in bay three, has a board door set within quoined jambs and a shallow triangular-headed lintel. The flanking two-storey bays contain 4-light recessed and chamfered mullion-and-transom windows. The other windows are all 3-light, with a transom above the entrance window. A continuous dripmould runs over the ground-floor windows and the parapets of the bay windows. Stone gutter brackets support the hipped roof, which features two corniced ridge stacks.
On the left return, the roof-line of a two-storey house is visible in the masonry, indicating that the original 17th-century building was raised by one storey. The interior was not inspected during the resurvey.
