Description
The Vicarage is an 18th-century courtyard house with a more imposing north wing. It is two and a half storeys high, with roughcast rendering. The roof is of stone tiles, hipped, with a half-hip to the north. The east front has one plus three windows. A small pediment with urn-finials sits centrally above the three-window bay, containing an attic oculus. A Venetian window is located below. Late sash glazing is present in flush framed windows. A projecting central porch, mostly glazed, features slender fluted Doric colonnettes and moulded cornice hoods. A two and a half-storey extension is attached to the west, spanning three bays, alongside a brick wing.
