5/64 Nos. 1 and 2 the Old Vicarage

GV II

Former vicarage, divided into 2 houses. A remodelling of 1807 (datestone) with traces of an earlier building at the rear. Whitewashed and rendered with a hipped slate roof with deep eaves carried on paired eaves brackets; stacks with rendered shafts. Plan: Double depth plan, 2 rooms wide with a central entrance into a stair hall, rear service rooms. Changes in floor level and irregularities to the rear of the building suggest a pre C19 house, presumably thoroughly remodelled in 1807. Exterior: 2 storeys. Almost symmetrical 5 window front with some minor variations to the windows. Central entrance with an early C19 recessed panelled door with fanlight, panelled reveals and a rounded outer arch. Datestone of 1807 with the initials E.D. above the front door. Complete set of early C19 small pane timber sash windows, those to the right with margin panes. The right return (No. 2) has a recessed front door with an overlight, flanked by small-pane timber windows. The rear and side elevations have a mixture of timber sashes and casements, mostly C19. Interior: No. 1 inspected. Early C19 joinery survives including shutters, panelled doors, cornices, 2 marble chimney-pieces and a good stair with stick balusters in the first flight and a ramped handrail, 2 first floor flights have turned balusters. The stair is lit by a lantern.
