Description
The Old Vicarage is a two-story, three-window house dating from the 19th century. The exterior is roughcast render with shaped brick chimneys, and a hipped slate roof with wings projecting from each end, slightly set back. The first floor has three 12-pane hornless sash windows. The ground floor has a central doorway framed by a reeded architrave and a rectangular overlight, with a partially glazed panelled door. This doorway is sheltered by a wooden gabled porch with a slate roof and ridge tiles. Either side of the doorway are tripartite small-pane sash windows. A right wing features a broad doorway and a return facade with a 12-pane sash window to the upper floor and a 20-pane sash window to the ground floor. The left return has mostly modern windows. The rear includes a lower kitchen block and an extension at a skew angle parallel to the lane, both featuring brick chimneys and modern glazing and patio doors. The rear elevation incorporates a doorway in the angle with the kitchen block, alongside a stair window with a round-headed upper sash containing intersecting tracery. To the right of this stair window is a small window at eaves level. The ground floor features a 12-pane sash window and a further small window.
Inside, many 19th-century six-panelled doors are retained on both floors, along with contemporary skirtings. The entrance hall features a cornice and ceiling rose. A study to the right has an early 19th-century fireplace, recessed bookshelves with Gothic fretwork, and an iron safe bearing the inscription “Kilken Register Chest 1813.” The study also has window panelling and shutters. The dining room to the left retains window panels and shutters. The rear staircase hall houses an early-to-mid 19th-century staircase with stick balusters and a hardwood rail, which continues to the landing. A garage, formerly a kitchen, has a fireplace. The scullery contains a fireplace and a bread oven with an iron door and a domed brick oven interior. Stairs lead down to a cellar with stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. Upstairs, the bedrooms also retain six-panelled doors.
