Description

The Vicarage is a house with a 17th-century core and 18th and 19th-century additions, creating a T-shaped layout. It is constructed of finely coursed ironstone rubble, with Welsh slate roofs. The original part of the house is two storeys high with a dormer attic, featuring a central six-panelled door set within a moulded stone architrave. A four-light stone mullioned window sits to its right, and a three-light window to the left, both with ovolo moulding. The upper floor windows are 3-light wooden mullioned and transomed windows, with painted surrounds and keystones; the upper storey may be a later addition. A sliding sash window is visible in a gabled dormer. The gables have coping stones with moulded kneelers, and there are axial and gable stacks.

A right-hand wing, added in the 18th century, is constructed of ironstone rubble with angle quoins to the front and brick to the rear. This wing has two triple-light sash windows with stone architraves and keys on the front inner face, above which are four-light wooden mullioned and transomed windows, also with stone architraves and keystones. It has a moulded brick eaves cornice and wood mullioned and transomed windows in the brick rear wall with steeply cambered heads. A dentilled eaves detail finishes the wing.

The rear of the original part of the house was modified around 1770 with the addition of a large Regency brick bow. This bow features three curving sash windows on each floor, with flat arched gauged brick heads and slender astragals, retaining some original glazing, with the ground floor windows extending to full height. A dentilled parapet sits above. A doorcase with a lugged architrave and a central triple-light floor-length sash window, with an ornamented keystone in a flat lintel are located in the angle where the rear wing meets the original range.

Attached to the house is an 18th-century boundary wall, built of mud with a stone plinth and tiled coping.
