History
Official heritage record, in French:
De l’ancien presbytère, bâti probablement en même temps que l’église au 16e siècle, il ne reste que le portail d’entrée. Le logis actuel date de la première moitié du 19e siècle.Deux autres bâtiments visibles sur le cadastre de 1837 ont aujourd’hui disparu : un bâtiment de service (?) sur rue et un petit pavillon à l’angle sud-est du jardin. L’observation de ce même cadastre montre la présence d’une tour d’escalier qui prouve que les corps postérieurs visibles aujourd’hui ont été rajoutés après 1837.

Architecture
Architectural description from the regional heritage survey, in French:
Le presbytère d’Esquibien se situe à quelques mètres au nord-est de l’église paroissiale Saint-Onneau dans un enclos bordé de hauts murs. Dans celui-ci a été aménagé, côté rue, un portail a arc ogival soigneusement mouluré et surmonté d’une croix.Au nord d’une petite cour pavée qui fait également office de jardin se trouve un logis à étage en pierres de tailles. Bâti à l’image des logis des fermes de la commune, il présente une élévation ordonnancée à cinq travées dont les niveaux sont marqués par un bandeau saillant. Les effets décoratifs sont portés sur la porte à imposte, la corniche du toit en doucine et les souches de cheminées moulurées.En retour de sa façade postérieure ont été élevés trois bâtiments accolés en moellons avec ouvertures donnant au nord, dont une porte d’entrée à l’ouest.Notons que le pignon est du logis donnant sur la rue est également en pierres de taille.
