Description
Lower Vicarwood is a farmhouse dating from the early 18th century, with alterations made in the mid-19th century. It is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and features a plain tile roof with brick gable stacks. The building has a stone plinth, chamfered stone quoins, a stone band at the first floor, and a brick dentil eaves cornice. It is three storeys high and has a double range plan. The symmetrical east elevation consists of two broad bays, with a central doorway that has a stone lintel. This doorway is fitted with a 20th-century glazed door and a rectangular overlight, and it is flanked on each side by glazing bar sash windows under stone lintels. There are two similar windows above, and two smaller similar windows above those. Inside, there is a dogleg staircase with stick balusters and ball finials on the newels, and the roof features a kingpost design.
