Description
The Vicarage is an early to mid-19th century brick house. It originally comprised a main three-window range and a two-window range addition to the west, with a lower eaves level for the addition. The windows are double-hung sashes with glazing bars, set in shallow reveals. A central doorway features a panelled architrave, cornice, and a shallow rectangular fanlight with ornamental glazing bars. The roof is slate and hipped.
