Description

Fairfield Vicarage is a house that now serves as a vicarage. It likely dates from the 17th century, with alterations made in the late 18th century and further changes in the late 19th century. The building is constructed from rendered and painted coursed rubble, featuring ashlar dressings and a stone slate roof with raised and moulded coped gables, complete with kneelers and finials. It has three rendered stacks.

The exterior is two storeys high with a symmetrical three-window front and a flush gable on the right. A projecting gabled porch contains a plank door, flanked by single three-light mullion windows with plain sashes that extend under lean-to roofs. Above the porch, there is a central small single plain sash window, flanked by two-light mullion windows with plain sashes. The right side of the building has three windows and a slightly off-centre lean-to porch with a 20th-century door. To the left, there is a three-light mullion window with plain sashes that projects under a lean-to roof, and to the right, a two-light window with plain sashes. Above the door is a single light window, flanked by two-light mullion windows with plain sashes. All openings feature painted ashlar surrounds.

Inside, the vicarage retains encased beams in the main rooms, with those to the left of the entrance appearing to be of an earlier date.
