Description

The former vicarage, now offices, was built around 1860. It is constructed of coursed and squared stone with a Welsh slate roof. The building is symmetrical, with a three-window facade and three storeys. The central entrance is within a projecting porch, featuring pilasters on either side of a segmental archway, and a cast-iron and stone parapet. The entrance is accessed via a door with an overlight. Flanking the porch are four-pane sash windows. The first-floor windows are also four-pane sashes, set within lugged architraves that project on corbels. The attic storey contains three segmentally-arched dormer windows interrupting the eaves line, with projecting eaves supported by moulded wood brackets. End wall stacks are present. The property is approached by paired panelled gatepiers with shallow pyramidal caps, and an attached low stone wall with railings.
