Description
The Vicarage of St Aidan is a building that possibly dates from 1885 and was designed by Oliver and Leeson. It is constructed of snecked sandstone with ashlar dressings and a plinth, topped with a Welsh slate roof featuring stone gable copings. The building has a T-plan layout and is designed in a 17th-century style. It stands two storeys tall and consists of four bays.
The full-height gabled porch, located in the third bay, features many-panelled double doors set within a moulded Tudor-arched surround. Inside the porch, there is Tudor rose and leaf carving in the soffits, and it has a deep wooden hood supported by shaped brackets with a pulvinated frieze. The windows are chamfered and stone-mullioned, with three lights in the first bay and four in the others. The porch also has a first-floor cornice below a moulded blind panel at the peak of the gable.
All gables are topped with coping and have moulded features over curved kneelers, with ball finials on the porch kneelers. The building is also adorned with four corniced stone chimneys, two on the rear slope and two set transversely on the front slope.
