Description
The Vicarage is a house built in the early 18th century, with extensions from the mid-19th century and alterations made in the 20th century. It is constructed of whitewashed brick and features a tiled roof that is hipped at the front. The building has a double depth plan and a five-window front, standing two storeys tall. The original central entrance has been converted into a window, which includes glazing bar sashes set in flush frames with gauged brick flat arched heads. The right bay contains larger 20-pane sashes. There are plat bands, with the one over the ground floor broken at the centre. The house has a stone-coped parapet and extruded end stacks, both of which are truncated. On the left side, there is an entrance that leads into a 20th-century glazed porch. A separately roofed 19th-century wing extends to the rear left, featuring a ground floor bow with a railed balcony facing the rear and an external stack on the rear gable end. The rear of the house has triple gables. The interior has not been inspected.
