Description

Preston Vicarage is a building with an 18th century front that incorporates an earlier core. It has two storeys and an attic, featuring four windows and two dormers. The structure is made of red brick and has an eaves cornice and a tiled roof. The glazing bars are intact, and the ground floor windows have cambered head linings. The doorway is framed by a moulded architrave surround with a flat hood supported on brackets, and it features a door with six fielded panels. There is a 19th century addition at the west end. Preston Vicarage, St Catherine's Church, and the wall surrounding them form a group.
