The Old Vicarage

The Old Vicarage is a large house dating to the late 19th century, built in the "Old English" style characteristic of Richard Norman Shaw. It is constructed of squared, random rock-faced sandstone, with rendered sections and timber framing in the gables, and has red tile roofs and red brick chimneys. The house is two storeys and has an attic, with a significant portion of the first floor incorporated into the roofline. The roof features two large red brick stacks, one on the front slope and another on the ridge.

The front elevation is arranged in three bays. A gabled wing projects to the left, featuring a narrow 1 over 2 light window at the bottom and a 2 + 2 casement window above. The gable is ornamented with a mock king-post and plain bargeboards. To the right of this is a projecting porch, canted across the angle between the wing and the main range. The porch walls are set at right angles and have dwarf stone walls with a 2-light window above. The angled opening to the porch is covered by a gabled roof, continuing the main roof slope, and contains a boarded door supported by curved braces. To the right of the porch is a tall gable housing the staircase; the main stair window has a stepped sill and a 3-light mullion-and-transom window above. Above this is a rendered gable with timbering and a 3-light casement with lattice glazing, topped with a steeply pitched gable and plain bargeboards. Further to the right is the kitchen wing, with paired 1 over 1 pane windows and a dormer featuring a 2-light casement.

A single-storey kitchen extension was added to the right gable, above which are a 2-light and a 3-light casement window. The garden front includes a single-storey office with a 3-light French casement and a 2-light casement with an elliptical head. The front of the main house returns in three bays, with the centre bay projecting under a gable. This bay contains a 3 + 3 pane French casement with overlight, a large 4-light mullion-and-transom window with an elliptical head, a 3-light casement above, and a 2-light casement in the gable. To the right is a mullion-and-transom window with centre French casements, and a 3-light casement above. The end gable has two 2-light mullion-and-transom casements at the bottom, a 2-light one above, and a 3-light one in the gable.

The interior was not available for inspection during a recent survey, but it is believed to be largely unaltered.
