Description
The Vicarage, along with its garden boundary wall and gate piers to the south and south-east, dates to approximately 1860. It is constructed of stuccoed stone rubble, with a Welsh slate roof. The gable ends feature ornate pierced wooden bargeboards and pendants, although their finials have been removed. The chimneys are rendered and have moulded cornices topped with louvred yellow clay pots. The building appears to have a double-depth plan, with two principal front rooms on the east side and a likely third principal room to the rear left (south-west). The service rooms would probably be located in the rear right-hand corner. The architectural style is a combination of picturesque Tudor Gothic with Italianate details.
The symmetrical east front has three bays, with the wider outer bays advanced slightly and gabled, and the narrow central bay recessed. A moulded string course runs at the level of the first-floor window sills. The left and right bays are canted, with console brackets to their cornices and panelled window surrounds. The first floor features round-headed windows with paving to the right and left, and a single light at the centre, all with moulded extrados on brackets. Small, round-headed single-light attic windows with bracketed sills are set within the gables above. The central doorway has a rendered porch, with bargeboards similar to those on the main gables and a doorhead matching the first-floor windows. The left-hand side of the building is asymmetrical, with a gable, similar bargeboards and windows as the front gables. The windows are largely original four-pane sashes, and the attic windows are casements. The interior has not been inspected but may contain features such as chimney pieces and original joinery, including the staircase.
The garden boundary wall, likely contemporary with the house, is constructed of flint with bands of red brick and a rustic flint capping, with the level rising at the left-hand end and curving at the right-hand corner. The wall also curves into a carriage gateway near the right-hand end, where two large, square gate piers are stuccoed and topped with large moulded caps surmounted by festooned urns.
