Description
St Columba's Vicarage, built between 1873 and 1874, is a red brick building with stone dressings and Welsh slate roofs that have a very high pitch. The structure includes a 2-bay link building that features a passage leading to a courtyard at the back, which is primarily dominated by a large roof with two hipped gabled dormers. The vicarage itself is an irregular building with two storeys, an attic, and a basement, showcasing two wide bays, with the right bay situated under a hipped gable. A tall, glazed attic rises from the ridge and is topped with a high pyramidal roof, similar to the tall dormers. The walls are decorated with grouped lancet windows, some of which have cusped heads, and are banded with stone and moulded brick. The rear view reveals a round tower with a conical roof located behind the link building, along with a similar 2-bay north return. St Columba's Vicarage, the Church of St Columba, the link building, the forecourt railings, and the Sisters' House and School together form a cohesive group.
