Description

The Old Vicarage is an early 18th century, five-bay house of two storeys and an attic, constructed of painted rubble stone with a slate roof. A brick stack is located on the right and a rendered stack on the left. The windows are hornless sashes set within shallow stone segmental heads, each featuring a keystone. A half-glazed porch with double panelled doors, a 20th century addition, sits centrally. Three gabled dormers were added around 1900.

The right gable end features a small window lower right, and brick steps lead to a boarded cellar door, accompanied by a two-light window on its right side, both with flat stone arches. A two-storey rear kitchen wing, extended with a rear service projection on the right side, is connected to the main house, its side wall continuous with the right gable end. It retains an original hornless sash with a flat stone arch and keystone. To the left of the original window are inserted French doors with an Adam-style iron overlight, likely relocated from the front door during a 20th century house extension. A small inserted window sits to the right of the original window. The upper storey of the kitchen wing has three large-pane sashes and an inserted bathroom window on the left side. A vertical joint separates the original wing from a lower, single-storey and attic projection with a stone end stack. This projection boasts a boarded door on the left side and a two-light casement to its right, both beneath wooden lintels; an added skylight is above.

The left gable end of the main house presents a horned sash window lower right and a large-pane sash window in the gable. To the left is a lower, gabled, two-storey projection with a brick stack added in the third quarter of the 19th century. It is characterised by a canted bay window beneath a plate glass sash beneath the eaves. A two-storey brick lean-to is added to its gable end, with a fixed stair light located to the left. The rear wing incorporates an original sash window lower left, under a keyed stone head, as well as two sash windows to the added upper storey. The rear projection has two windows, one on the right converted from a former doorway, a full dormer on the right, and a roof dormer on the left. Sheds are built against the gable end.

Inside, the porch leads to a 20th century doorway with a coloured glass overlight, opening into the entrance hall and rear stair hall. The geometrical staircase, with moulded tread ends, a wreathed handrail and plain balusters, is the principal internal feature. A service staircase, added around 1900, is located in the rear kitchen wing, featuring winders at the base and arranged in two flights to the attic. The main rooms retain panelled shutters. The rear kitchen wing and the projection behind it retain large fireplaces with timber lintels.
