Description
The Vicarage is a vicarage built in 1879 for Reverend Dodds. It is constructed from snecked stone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof, designed in an early 18th-century style. The building has an L-shaped plan with a second span filling the angle of the L and stands two storeys high with three bays.
There are three moulded semi-circular steps leading up to a two-panelled door, which is topped with an overlight and set within a bolection-moulded surround that includes a keystone. The ground floor features tripartite windows in architraves with keystones, while the sashes are 8-pane and 4-pane with thick glazing bars. The first floor has 8-pane sashes set in architraves.
The roof is steeply pitched, equipped with kneelers and flat coping, and includes one ridge stack and one external stack on the right gable. A bay window is located on the left return, and 8-pane sashes in architraves are found throughout the building.
Inside, there is a three-storey, open-well staircase with turned balusters and newels, reflecting the early 18th-century style, along with two-panelled doors.
