Description
The Vicarage is a vicarage built in the late 17th century, with alterations and additions made in the late 18th century and mid-to-late 19th century. It is constructed from squared and coursed limestone, with roughcast at the rear, and features a hipped graded slate roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, characterized by deep eaves and a central brick stack behind the ridge, along with an off-centre brick stack to the left and a large brick ridge stack to the right. There is a central flat-topped dormer with a two-light casement.
The facade consists of seven bays, with 19th-century wooden leaded cross windows. The central entrance has 20th-century double half-glazed doors set within a 19th-century gabled wooden porch. To the left at the front, there is probably a mid-to-late 19th-century one-storey lean-to addition with a hipped slate roof, featuring two 20th-century casements and a glazed door. The left-hand end elevation has late 18th-century glazing bar sashes, while the right-hand end elevation has four bays with blocked windows, including a blind window on the first floor to the left.
At the rear, which was altered in the late 18th century, there is a 1:2:1 bay rhythm with a projecting centre that was formerly topped by a stone cornice and blocking course. The rear features glazing bar sashes, with 16-pane windows on the ground floor to the left and right.
Inside, there is an early 18th-century dog-leg staircase with a landing, open string, cut tread-ends, turned balusters (three per tread), a moulded ramped handrail, a fluted columnular bottom newel, and five turned balusters as the half-landing newel. The ground floor room to the right at the rear has an egg-and-dart moulded fireplace surround and panelling that is probably in an early 18th-century style, dating from around 1900. This building is likely a late 17th-century U-shaped house, with the space between the rear wings filled in and the entire rear elevation re-fronted in the late 18th century.
