Description

The Old Vicarage, formerly known as Beech Grove, is a two-storey house with five windows, designed in the Tudor style and altered in the early 19th century. It features a symmetrical front with slightly advancing wings and a central porch. The wings and porch have shouldered coped gables, with the porch also featuring a string course. The house is primarily rendered, except for the rear of the main section, which is constructed of brick. The roofs are covered with slate and have tile ridges. There are four rendered chimneys with pairs of diagonal stacks made of red brick, and a single brickwork end stack on the rear wing, all topped with terracotta pots.

The front elevation has been restored and includes mullion or mullion-and-transom windows with small panes. All windows are adorned with Tudor label moulds. The porch has a four-centred arch and the main doorway features a four-panelled door set in a panelled casing.

At the rear, there is an additional wing on the west side, along with later annexes made of red brick. The main rear elevation includes four 12-pane sash windows, with one centrally located at mid-height that serves the stairs landing.

The layout of the house is broadly symmetrical, with a central entrance and stairs leading to the rear. A small parlour located at the rear left has a decorative ceiling cove.
