Description

The Vicarage is a building dating from 1802, possibly designed by Thomas Baldwin. It features a facade made of limestone ashlar, with rubblestone used for the rest of the structure, and has a double pitched slate roof with moulded stacks at the gable ends. The building has a double depth plan and stands two storeys tall with a symmetrical three-window arrangement.

Architectural details include a cornice and blocking course, a first-floor sill string course, and a banded rusticated plinth below the ground floor sills. The windows are six-over-six pane sash windows, with the ground floor featuring tripartite windows. The central first-floor window is set in a moulded architrave with a pediment, flanked by wheat-ear festoons over roundels. The outer window ranges step slightly forward, and while the cornice and blocking course follow the contour, the sill string course remains continuous. The plain window openings have moulded horizontal panels above them.

The angles flanking the outer ranges are quarter pilasters with Egyptian capitals, and similar full pilasters are found at the quoins, connected by moulded string courses at the abacus level. The ground floor includes three wide segmental-arched recesses, with the side recesses located above the windows. The narrower central recess features a cornice on tall paired consoles above a set-back eight-panel door. Below the first-floor sill string course, the wall sweeps down and outwards over the doorways.

The interior has not been inspected, but it is noted to have panelled shutters. This Vicarage is recognized as a very elegant mid-Georgian villa, showcasing characteristic elements of Baldwin's architectural style.
