Description
Vicarage Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1840. It is timber-framed with a white weatherboarded front, pebbledashed flanks, and a low-pitched roof covered with concrete interlocking tiles. The building has two storeys and features a flat-roofed 20th-century extension at the rear, with pebbledashed stacks at each gable end.
The exterior includes a three-window range of flush double-hung sash windows that have moulded boxes and two vertical glazing bars. The ground floor windows have one glazing bar only in the lower half. There is a central flat porch hood supported by brackets, leading to a 20th-century entrance door that has small glazed panes in the upper part.
Inside, the farmhouse retains contemporary internal door architraves, one ledged and braced old door, and an original staircase with a newel.
