Description
The Vicarage is a house that was originally built in 1600 and later extended in the early to mid-19th century. It is constructed from limestone rubble with limestone dressings, and features 19th-century ashlar elements, including front lateral and ridge stacks, topped with a slate hipped roof. The building has a single-depth two-room plan on the right side and a double-depth plan, arranged around a central courtyard.
The house is two storeys tall and has a window arrangement of two on the left and three on the right. The earlier three-window range on the right is divided into one and two by a lateral stack, featuring a right-hand gable and a decapitated stack. The windows on this side are 19th-century insertions with ashlar surrounds and 3/6-pane sashes. The left-hand range includes a plat band and deep overhanging eaves supported by paired moulded brackets.
There is a porch to the right of the centre with a half-glazed door, and above it is a window with round-arched glazing bars, alongside a 3/6-pane sash to the left. The left-hand return has a deep 6/9-pane sash on the ground floor and a 3/6-pane sash on the first floor, as well as a rear canted bay window with moulded architraves and 8/8-pane sashes. The interior has not been inspected.
