The Vicarage

The Vicarage is a house dating from around 1830 to 1840, set back from the road in a large garden with fine trees. It is two storeys high and constructed of ashlar stone cut in small blocks, possibly from Chilmark. The building consists of two linked parallel blocks, with the right-hand block stepping forward to the southwest. It features a plinth and sill course, gable end and hipped slate roofs, wide eaves, and a low pitch.

On the entrance front, the projecting block has a gable end with coping and scrolled brackets supporting the kneelers. There are three first-floor windows, one of which on the projecting block is blind. The ground floor has taller windows with block sills, all of which are recessed sashes with glazing bars. A stone porch is built out next to and partly over the front of the projecting block, featuring a plinth, block cornice, and a blocking course that returns to the sill course on the front. The porch has a small solid pediment and a semi-circular arched entrance with block imposts carried into the reveals of the door. The double doors consist of six fielded panels with a moulded case and doorhead, and there is a semi-circular fanlight with radial swagged glazing bars, topped with a keystone set in a flush arch.

On the southeast front, the projecting block has two tripartite windows on both floors, which are recessed sashes with intact glazing bars and block sills on the ground floor. There is a similar gable at the northeast end. The recessed block on this front has one first-floor window, a recessed sash with glazing bars and a block sill. The ground floor features recessed French windows with marginal glazing. The northwest front of the recessed block, which mainly serves as a service wing, has late sashes on the first floor, while the ground floor windows retain their original sashes and glazing bars.
