Description
The Vicarage is a detached vicarage built around 1845. It features ashlar stone walls and a slate roof with stone gable copings and roll-moulded edges. The building has large moulded kneelers and two stone stacks that are hidden in the valley of the roof. It is a double-pile house with two storeys and three sash windows that have glazing bars and marginal glazing bars. All windows are adorned with returned labels and have chamfered-and-quirked jambs, along with stone cills. The front door is centrally located and has a 4-centred head with hollow chamfered jambs, a rectangular top light with four lights, and a returned label above. The door itself is a plank door with recessed panels. To the left, there is an attached wing at an oblique angle, which has rubble stone walls and a slate roof. This wing also has two storeys and two windows featuring two-light wooden casements with glazing bars. A brick porch is positioned to the right of the centre.
