Description

The Vicarage, now a private house, was likely built in the 1830s. It is constructed with stucco to the front and sides, and painted rubble at the rear. The roof is of pyramidal scantle slate, with brick chimneys positioned over the side walls and rear wall (on the left). The building has a double-depth plan, comprising two main rooms facing the garden on the left, a study to the right, a central passage leading to a stair hall behind the study, and a kitchen further along. Two later single-storey lean-tos have been added to the right, opposite the front of the garden.

The south-facing garden front is symmetrical and two windows wide, featuring original hornless 12-pane sashes on the first floor, and a later French window on the ground floor. The east-facing entrance front has a central doorway with a sash window above. The original doorcase features a moulded architrave with roundels in the corner blocks, a cornice, and an original door consisting of two vertical panels and an overlight, set behind panelled reveals. External chimney breasts are present on either side, and four-pane sashes were inserted around the late 19th century, when a rear window was blocked by the lean-to. Original 12-pane hornless sashes remain above the lean-to, and an original tall 18-pane sash is positioned midway to the rear wall.

The interior retains much of its original early 19th century carpentry, joinery, and plasterwork. Notable features include an open-well open-string staircase with a ramped mahogany handrail; an arch between the stair hall and passage; moulded ceiling bands and window shutters in the reception rooms; and original doors and architraves. It is a good example of an early 19th century garden front and side entrance plan.
