Description

The Vicarage dates to circa 1821, with extensions added circa the mid-19th century. The front elevation is of ashlar stone, while the rear is of roughly coursed stone rubble. It has a slate roof with hipped ends to the front range, a gable end to the rear right, and a hipped end to the rear left. Brick end stacks are present.

The building may have originally been of a double depth plan, with two front reception rooms facing the garden to the southwest. The main entrance is at the rear of the right-hand room, leading into a corridor. A small service room or study is located to the rear of the right-hand room and corridor, with a staircase positioned to the rear centre, and likely a kitchen behind the left-hand room. In the mid-19th century, a kitchen wing of single-room plan was added to the northwest, set back to the left, and features its own end stack.

The southwest garden front has a symmetrical two-window arrangement. The ground floor has two glazed double doors, with a 20th-century window above to the left and a three-over-six-pane sash window to the right. The kitchen wing to the left has dressed stone arches with a 20th-century window on the ground floor and a hornless sash window above. The southeast entrance has been partly remodelled, originally featuring a large porch whose three granite columns, with moulded caps, have been reused in the altered porch. A rear porch also incorporates two granite columns. Rear windows include 19th-century 16-pane sashes, and later 19th and early 20th-century four-pane sashes.

The interior features an early to mid-19th-century staircase with stick balusters.
