The Old Vicarage

The Old Vicarage is a former vicarage built in the 18th century. It features painted roughcast walls and steep hipped roofs that extend out at the eaves, supported by paired brackets. The building has four rendered end stacks, two of which on the rear range have been renewed. It has a double-pile plan with two parallel roofs and is two storeys high with a three-window front range. The windows are hornless sashes, with 12 panes above and 16 panes below, and there is a central door with a flat hood supported on long brackets, which is flanked by C20 rendered side walls. The six-panel door consists of two glazed panels, two fielded panels, and two flush panels. The rear of the building is rendered and features mostly renewed horned 16-pane sashes with concrete sills, including a large central window that lights the stair, with a door beneath it and one window on each floor on either side.

Inside, the layout consists of a four-room plan with a central passage leading to the stairs at the rear. The doors are fielded panelled six-panel doors. Apart from two stone piers that rise through the house to support the roof, partitions separate the rooms from the passage and from one another. The northeast and southeast rooms have deep elliptical arched recesses back-to-back in the partition, with another in the southwest room. The northeast room features fielded panelled shutters, a cupboard to the left of the alcove, a 19th-century chimney-piece, and a plastered beam. The southeast room has a moulded beam with an ovolo moulding between two hollow mouldings, and shutters with sunk panels. The northwest room contains two beams and a corner fireplace with a massive chamfered and stopped lintel, possibly from the 16th century, leading to a narrow modern piece on the west side.

The stairs are dog-leg with a pulvinated string, thin turned balusters, square newels, and a moulded handrail, leading up to the landing. The stairs above have modern square balusters, except for a short section of original balusters on the next landing. The first-floor rooms also have fielded panelled doors, plastered beams, and some fielded panelled shutters. One bedroom has a pane of glass inscribed with the name James Symmonds, although the date is unreadable.

There was originally a cellar under the northwest front room, which has been infilled. The cellar steps, made of stone, lead to a southwest cellar that includes wine racks. The cellar has been extended under a modern west addition, suggesting it may be located on the site of an earlier range.
