Description
The Vicarage is a vicarage built in 1823. It features stuccoed rubble walls and a hipped scantle slate roof over the garden front, with paired parallel hipped roofs at the back and a brick axial chimney on the rear wall next to the left-hand wing. The building has cast iron ogee gutters and a double depth plan that includes three reception rooms on the garden front. An axial passage reception runs behind the right-hand room, leading from a side entrance to a central stair hall located behind the middle room. There is a service room behind the left-hand room and an additional reception room or study behind the passage. The vicarage was extended in the early to mid-19th century with a two-storey wing at a lower level at the rear.
The building is two storeys high and has a symmetrical three-window south garden front with original 16-pane hornless sash windows featuring much crown glass. The east entrance front includes the side wall of the main front and an integral wing under one roof, with a later service wing adjoining on the right that has a roof at a lower level, hipped on the right. The original part retains its original windows, doorway, and porch, except for a small window to the right of the doorway. The Doric porch has unfluted columns and a wide cornice to the entablature, with pilaster antae behind the columns, a six-panelled door, and oval and segmental glazing in the overlight. Above the doorway, there is a round-headed window with intersecting glazing bars, and to the right, there are ground and first-floor 16-pane hornless sash windows. The service wing has a doorway on the left with a six-panel door and a large slate-roofed wooden hood with an arch-braced gable featuring a circular brace over the collar, all supported on corbelled brackets. The first floor has windows consisting of a 16-pane two-light casement on the left and a taller 12-pane two-light casement on the right. The interior is reported to have much original detail.
