The Old Deanery

The Old Deanery is a large L-plan house built in the Tudor style. It has two storeys and an attic, featuring roughcast fronts with painted freestone dressings, slate roofs, and grouped diagonal brick stacks. The cusped bargeboards are adorned with pendants and finials. The eastern front is almost symmetrical, with advanced gabled bays at either end and a small gable in the centre. The attic includes lancet windows and a heraldic stone, while the ground floor has two and three-light windows beneath rectangular hood moulds. The centre bay is splayed and has a crenellated parapet, with marginal glazing bars. There is a later yellow brick bay on the northern end.

On the southern entrance front, there is an advanced centre bay with a lancet window in the gable, three windows wide, featuring paired sashes under Tudor drip moulds and marginal glazing bars. The gabled centre porch has a finial on the parapet, diagonal buttresses, and a shield above the Tudor archway. To the left, there is a lower two-storey, two-window extension with similar detailing and gabled heads over the first-floor windows. A twin-gabled rear wing may still contain parts of the original house.

At the time of inspection in January 1987, the building was in the process of being converted into an old people's home. The interiors retain contemporary details, including a quadrapartite ribbed plaster vaulted Tudor entrance hall, a main staircase with a swept handrail and paired uprights leading to the first-floor landing, and a similarly detailed bay and fireplace in the drawing room. The lower ground floor to the left of the entrance features timber studding.
