The Vicarage

The Vicarage is a house of 1892 designed by Charles Nicholson. It is constructed of red brick in English bond, with roughcast bay windows and dormer cheeks. The roof is tiled, hipped, and features a sprocketed out over moulded wooden eaves. Brick axial stacks rise through the roof, topped with brick cornices.

The house is rectangular in plan, with an entrance hall to the right of the centre, service rooms and single-storey outhouses to the left, and the principal rooms overlooking the garden to the rear. It is designed in a Domestic Revival style.

The asymmetrical front (northwest) has a two-window, two-window, one-window, two-window arrangement. The first floor has pairs of narrow eight-pane sashes in moulded flush boxes, with small, moulded sills. The ground floor includes a cross-mullion-transom window to the right, and small casements and a sash on the left, all with glazing bars, flush moulded cases, moulded sills and relieving arches. The main doorway is to the right of the centre, featuring a large segmental moulded canopy supported by squat Tuscan stone columns on brick piers. The door is an eight-panel design with side lights in a moulded frame, and a small round stained glass window above. A service door is situated to the left. The rear (southeast) garden front has three windows. The left and centre bays feature narrow, roughcast, full-height canted bay windows, with the eaves cornices breaking forward above. A casement window and a narrow French casement are situated on the right bay. A tripartite sash window is present on the right, with a narrow sash above. There are two hipped dormers with deep moulded eaves cornices, along with two very small flat roof dormers. Similar sashes, casements, and bays are found on the southwest and northeast ends; the northeast end has single-storey hipped roof outhouses. Rainwater heads are dated 1892.

The interior retains good original features and joinery, including panelled doors, cupboards, moulded cornices, a staircase balustrade and a fine set of chimney pieces, some with tiled surrounds to the grate, one being decorated with Delft tiles, and a good free-style hall chimneypiece. A stained glass roundel above the front door was created by Archibald Nicholson.
