The Old Vicarage was originally built in the 1740's, with later additions thought to date from the 1850's, to serve as the home of the vicar of the nearby St Cenau's Church (just at the bottom of the hill in the hamlet of Llangenny). It is split over three floors. On the ground floor there is a cosy kitchen including an AGA as well as a large Britannia gas range for mass catering, with an adjoining 'back kitchen and laundry room for mess and utilities. Next to the kitchen there's a large, sun drenched dining room with French windows, opening onto the terrace and garden to bring the outside in during the Summer. Completing the the ground floor are two living rooms, each with large open fires; one smaller - the 'snug' - for TV sessions and the kids, one larger and more traditional - the 'red room' - for relaxing round the fire and reading one of the many books in the house's extensive library, which has been handed down the generations. There is also a downstairs bathroom with a power shower. Upstairs there are three large double bedrooms, one of which is en-suite and one of which has an adjoining children's room with two beds. There are also two additional (smaller) double rooms, a family bathroom and a WC. There are three further rooms in the eaves of the roof: two twin rooms, and a single bed in the landing area.
