Description
The Old Vicarage is a two-storey building constructed from coursed Cilgerran rubble stone, featuring tooled Cilgerran dressings, slate eaves roofs, and cut stone stacks with chamfered bases, although some shafts have been replaced with brick. The building exhibits an asymmetrical Tudor Gothic style, originally designed with three bays but extended in 1889 to the right in a matching style.
Notable architectural features include heavily carved bargeboards with pendant finials on the gables. The windows are either margin-glazed sashes or casements set in chamfered surrounds, with single slab Cilgerran stone lintels and hoodmoulds. The original section has a slightly projected main gable on the right, a lower gable on the left, and a centre gabled porch. The right stack has three stone shafts on what was the former end wall.
On the ground floor, the left and right windows are long arch-headed sashes with timber mullions, topped with deep hoodmoulds. The first floor features 2-light timber-mullion windows, with the left being casements that have a hoodmould, the centre having casements without a hood, and the right consisting of paired arch-headed sashes with a hoodmould. The centre porch is gabled and bargeboarded, featuring a tall Tudor-arched chamfered doorway, a Tudor-arched hoodmould, and a traceried fanlight. The door has Gothic panels, and there are single lights in the side walls with arched windows.
The west end gable has similar bargeboards, with a first-floor casement pair that includes a hoodmould and a large square stone bay window on the ground floor, complete with a dripmould and parapet. There is also a three-light window with long arch-headed sashes but no hoodmould. The section added in 1889 to the front right maintains similar bargeboarding, with a first-floor 2-light window that has a hood and a ground-floor long 2-light window featuring a deep hood and arch-headed sashes.
The east end gable also has bargeboards, and one chimney has been removed. The rear of the building showcases an external chimney breast on the right, whitewashed walls, and a centre featuring small-paned casement pairs on each floor with stone voussoirs. There is a northeast rear wing with a similar end stack and small-paned casements. Additionally, there is a small brick addition from 1879 located at the angle of the rear wing.
