Description
Vicarage Farmhouse is a farmhouse that later became a vicarage and is now a house. It dates from the mid-18th century and has been extended and altered over time. The exterior features white-painted scored stucco on a sandstone plinth, topped with a stone slate roof, while the addition has a slate roof. The building is two storeys high with a cellar and attic, and has a nearly symmetrical façade with one window on the left and two on the right.
On the ground floor, there is a doorway that is offset to the left of centre, featuring a wooden surround and a panelled and glazed door. To the left of the door is a 9-pane sashed window, and to the right is a large square window, which is now a 20th-century casement with glazing bars. The first floor has 9-pane sashes, and all windows are adorned with moulded architraves. The addition to the left has one window on each floor, similar to those on the right of the doorway. There are chimneys at both original gables and another on the slope in front of the left gable. The rear of the building is mostly covered by 20th-century additions, but a square-headed stair window remains exposed.
Inside, there is a direct entry to the front room, which features fielded panel doors with H-L hinges. A dog-legged staircase leads up to the attic level, showcasing an open string, scrolled brackets, two turned balusters per tread, and a ramped handrail.
