GV II

Part of vicarage, now house. Early C19 with fenestration altered in mid- to late C20. Red brick with some stone dressings; plain tile 2-span roof. 2 storeys. Plinth, dentil brick eaves cornice, and coped parapeted gable ends; small C20 diamond-shafted stack on front range off-centre to right, triple and single diamond-shafted stacks on ridge at rear. 4 bays; glazing bar sashes (mostly C20 copies); gabled porch in second bay from right with coped verge parapet, 4-centred arched entrance with pair of C19 boarded doors, and C20 glazing bar sashes in sides. Gabled 2-bay north front. Interior: ground-floor front room to left has trefoiled Gothic frieze and moulded cornice similar to details by John Nash at Longner Hall (q.v.). Old phtographs show that the house formerly had a probably late C19 canted Gothic bay window to north and probably early C19 windows at rear with Y-tracery, all replaced in the C20 alterations. The house was part of a larger vicarage, now divided from The Vicarage Cottage (q.v.).
