Description
The Old Vicarage is a house, possibly dating back to the 16th century, with alterations made in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and again in the early 20th century. The exterior is roughcast over a rubble base, and the roof is covered with double Roman tiles, hipped on the left side. A large rendered stack is located to the left of the cross passage. The layout includes a cross passage leading to two rooms on the left, with a straight staircase rising at the junction of those rooms and a rear wing. A gabled single-cell addition is situated at the angle of the building. The house is two storeys high and has three bays. It features 20th-century metal casement windows without glazing bars, with a plank door and rectangular light above the entrance in the right-hand bay.
Inside, there is a large fireplace with a chamfered wooden lintel and chamfered stone jambs. The front room on the right side of the house displays pyramid stops. Late 18th and early 19th century ceiling beams and panelled window reveals are present on both floors. It is possible the cross passage was added to the original two-room unit during this period, along with a stable to the right, which has since been demolished. The upper storey was not inspected. Other ground floor rooms reveal chamfered beams with step and runout stops, and remnants of a large staircase are located to the right of the fireplace, featuring a chamfered lintel. Early 20th-century photographs indicate that the property formerly had a larger storey wing, which was re-roofed at a lower level before being demolished in the early 20th century. The building was reportedly previously used as schoolrooms.
