Description
The Vicarage is a house dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of red brick and has a slate roof. The building has a plan of two parallel ranges, which was established after the addition of a north block in the mid-19th century. It is two storeys high, with a south front that features three bays, each separated by brick pilasters. The corners have clasping pilasters topped with block entablatures. There are three unhorned sash windows with 6/6 panes on each floor, each window having rebated cusped canopies and gauged skewback arches. The ground-floor skewback arches are cased in lead, while the upper ones are painted. The central lower window replaced a former entrance door around 1980. The roof is gabled with a central ridge stack and a gable-end stack on the east side. The west return shows two gable ends, both featuring shaped gables. Inside, there is a stick-baluster staircase with turned newel posts, a ramped handrail, and scrolled tread-ends.
