Description

The Old Vicarage is a vicarage that has been converted into a house. It was built in the late 18th century and underwent alterations by John Pinch the Younger in 1838, along with late 19th-century additions and changes. The building features a Doulting plinth, a rubble core, and is rendered and scribed to resemble ashlar. It has a hipped slate roof with wide bracketed eaves and predominantly ashlar stacks.

The structure is two stories high with a three-bay entrance front. It includes sash windows with glazing bars set in plain stone surrounds, except for the right bay, which has blank windows with painted glazing bars. The central door opening contains a six-panelled door with a transom light featuring marginal glazing bars. A later 19th-century glazed porch was removed for renovation during the resurvey in May 1985. The right return of the building follows the same style. Inside, there is ornamental plasterwork, chimney pieces, doors, door surrounds, and window shutters from the 19th century, along with a late 18th-century staircase.
