Description

The Old Vicarage is a Victorian building, likely dating to the 19th century, constructed of rubble stone with black brick dressings. It has a slate roof, with crested red ridge tiles, and a half-hipped north side. The first floor of the west garden front is whitewashed roughcast. Two brick stacks are present; one on the west roof slope with three shafts, another with two shafts, and a third roughcast stack at the north end, which may be an addition.

The building is a compact rectangular block with gables above the principal windows. Brick surrounds are used for the windows, except where the first floor is roughcast. These surrounds are ovolo-moulded, with cambered heads and flush stone sills. The east front exemplifies Victorian asymmetric functional design, with windows sized to suit the rooms they illuminate. A Gothic-style door is located towards the right, featuring ledges, ornate hinges, and a gabled slated hood. A long two-pane sash window lights a corner study, followed by three long two-pane sashes of varying widths. A cambered headed service door, ledged with strap hinges, and a large four-pane kitchen window are located to the left. The upper floor has two large four-pane windows under gables, one to the left and one to the right of centre, plus four small two-pane lights, one to the right and three between the main windows. The gables incorporate small brick apex loops. The north end has two four-pane sashes on each floor. The west garden front has roughcast to the first floor above a brick band. A large gable is located on the left, with a blank shield plaque, a four-pane sash, and a narrower four-pane sash. The centre and left have four-pane sashes under smaller gables with apex loops. The ground floor includes a pent roof on wooden brackets over a left French window, and a centre two-by-four-by-two-pane tripartite sash, and a blank wall to the right. The south end wall contains a large two-by-four-by-two-pane sash below and a four-pane sash above, both set to the left.

The interior is compactly planned, with two staircases: a main stair to the south of the front door and a service stair to the north of the service door. The main stair is constructed of pitch pine with simple Gothic rails, notched newels, and pyramid caps. A study, dining room, and drawing room are located off the hall. Pine six-panel doors are fitted with overlapped plank architraves, which are chamfered and have plain quatrefoils on the upper corners. The first floor follows a similar plan.
