In the mid 19th century St. Thomas Church and the Vicarage were designed by the well known Victorian architect S.S.Teulon. The Vicarage was built in the Gothic revival style with local grey and red stone with Bath stone dressings in polychromatic design, a Welsh slate roof, stone chimney stacks, offset buttresses and stone mullioned and sash windows in quoined ashlar surrounds. The original Vicarage was later divided into two, The Old Vicarage and the other known as East Vicarage. Old Vicarage Cottage was part of The Old Vicarage and is now for sale as an independent individual property. The three parts of the original Vicarage are all Grade ll listed.

The Cottage has a front door opening directly into the kitchen/breakfast room. This has fitted units and appliances including a hob, extractor and oven. It also has a trap door to a cellar.

A door leads off the sitting room to a small passageway with a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a shower room with basin, wc and shower.

In front of the house is a parking space which perhaps also has room for a small table and chairs.

The Cottage has mains services connected including gas, water, electricity and drainage. Gas central heating and 21 P.V. solar panels.
