Description
The Vicarage is an early 19th-century house with rendered walls and a slate hipped roof featuring wide eaves. It stands two storeys high, with the south elevation displaying four windows. Two of these windows on the left project outward and are sashes with glazing bars, set within plain architraves that are in relief, and have granite sills. The ground floor includes splayed bay windows and an open wooden porch supported by Tuscan columns and an entablature. The east elevation has three windows, with a splayed bay window at the centre of the ground floor. The Vicarage, along with the Church, Churchyard Wall, and other listed items in Mousehole Lane (excluding Nos 1 and 2 Mount View), forms a group.
