Description
The Vicarage is a vicarage built around 1860, possibly designed by the architect Street. It features a rubble exterior with a Cotswold stone roof and is constructed in a functional Gothic style. The building has two storeys and consists of four bays, with a projecting gable on the left and two gables above the first-floor windows on the right. The windows are either two- or three-light with triangular heads, and there are relieving arches above the ground floor windows. Above the gabled porch, which is adjacent to the gabled break, there is a window with a triangular shape, and the entrance features a flush-panel door with a Gothic traceried overlight. The south flank wall displays a group of four chimneys in a line, with an additional group of three chimneys located to the right of center on the ridge. Overall, it presents an economical and simple design dressed in Gothic style.
