Description
The Vicarage is a vicarage built in 1725. It features stucco on brick, designed to imitate ashlar, and has a hipped roof covered with glazed black pantiles. The building is two storeys high with attics and has five early 19th-century sash windows with glazing bars set in flush frames, all framed by moulded architraves. The entrance includes a semi-glazed door from the early 19th century, surrounded by a doorcase with an eared architrave and a cornice supported by console brackets. There are three dormer windows, each with two lights and shallow segmental heads. Inside, there is an original closed-string staircase with turned balusters and a panelled dado. The main ground floor rooms are also panelled, featuring moulded cornices; the room on the left has incomplete raised and fielded panelling and an original fireplace.

It experiences an average of 27 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 71% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
