Description

The Old Vicarage is a former vicarage built with colourwashed roughcast and features a slate close-eaved roof that has three inserted roof lights, along with roughcast end stacks. The front elevation includes an early 19th-century two-storey, three-window range on the right, featuring horned 12-pane sash windows and a central door that is part of a 20th-century glazed lean-to. To the left is a late 19th-century addition with a slightly lower roof, a left end stack, and a four-pane sash window above a ground floor French window.

At the rear of the house, there is a hipped stair tower that projects out, which is an 18th-century feature but may have been altered here. This tower has 20th-century windows on each floor and an added lean-to on the south side that includes a chimney and one sliding sash window above the door.

The interior has a central passage with a two-room plan for the original house, and a rear passage behind the left room leads to the late 19th-century addition. There is a blocked rear window in the passage. The interior details are mostly from the early to mid-19th century, featuring bulbous newels on the dog-leg stair, panelled doors, and a collar-truss roof.
