Description
This is an early 19th-century vicarage, now a house, situated at the west end of a rear courtyard. The main building is constructed from sandstone ashlar and magnesian limestone rubble, with a slate roof. It has a rectangular front range and a long service wing extending to the rear to form an L-shaped plan. The symmetrical front facade has two storeys and five bays, displaying a classical style. A tetrastyle Doric porch with a pediment protects glazed and panelled double doors with an overlight and side windows. There are 12-pane sash windows throughout, featuring splayed voussoirs and aprons at ground floor level. The roof is low-pitched with projecting eaves and a chimney stack at each end of the ridge.
The left return wall has three bays with recessed round-headed arches at ground floor, a French window to the left, and blind windows above. Above this are two sash windows and two blind windows. A screen wall, approximately 3 metres high, extends from the rear corner. The first half of this wall is of ashlar with two blind windows or panels, while the remainder is built of coursed squared masonry and incorporates a doorway to the courtyard. The right return wall features a 12-pane sash window on each floor near the rear corner, continuing to a lower two-storey service wing with similar windows, some of which are paired. Attached to this wing is a coach-house, now a garage, with a gable end containing an elliptical-headed coach doorway. Other features of this wing are of less distinction. The rear wall of the main house includes a round-headed stairwell window.
Inside, the entrance hall is characterised by a round-headed central arch flanked by coved alcoves, leading to an open well staircase.
At the far end of the rear courtyard, and attached to the screen wall, is a single-storey stable block constructed of rubble with a hipped stone slate roof. It has three stable doors and four windows arranged in an alternating pattern (a, b, a, b, b, a), along with mounting steps attached to the front wall.
