Description
The Vicarage is a large house dating from the late 18th or early 19th century. It is built of washed Flemish bond red brick, with a Welsh slate roof and four brick chimneys. The house follows a double-pile plan. The north front is symmetrical, with three bays and two storeys. The end bays feature recessed 12-pane sash windows with cambered, wedged stone heads and stone sills. A small, mid-19th century porch was added to the extreme right end, with "PARISH ROOM" inscribed on the lintel. The central bay has a projecting flat hood over a simple wooden doorcase, containing a half-glazed door and a fanlight with radial glazing bars. A similar window is positioned above. A one-storey extension of no special interest adjoins the left side. The garden front, which is two storeys and four bays wide, has 12-pane sash windows, a tripartite sash, and two blocked windows. The interior of the house was not inspected.
