Description
The Vicarage is a vicarage built in the early 19th century, with a porch that was enclosed in the late 19th century. The building features roughcast over random rubble, a slate roof, boxed eaves, and roughcast stacks at the gable ends and at the gable end of the service wing. It is designed in an L-plan.
On the south front, the building has two storeys and two bays. There is a cornice and a full-height pilaster quoin on the right side of the facade, while the left side is unadorned, and there is a continuous plinth. The left side features a full-height canted bay with 12-pane sash windows, and there is a 12-pane sash window on the right, all of which have horns. The ground floor has a similar arrangement, but only the left-hand window of the bay has horns.
The right return, or entrance front (east), includes a 6-pane sash window in the apex of the gable and a 16-pane sash window lighting the stairs, which is set over the entrance on the right side of an otherwise unlit facade. The entrance is accessed via a Tuscan Doric porch, with columns resting on concrete plinths and glazed returns on a concrete base. The porch has fixed lights arranged in a 3 x 4 pattern, and the entrance features a rectangular light and a half-glazed door with marginal glazing bars and 3 x 4 panes, along with three panels in the lower section of the door, which is diagonally boarded with chamfered arrises. The inner door has not been seen.
The wing to the right has two storeys and one bay, featuring 16-pane sash windows, with the ground floor window rising at ground level with a step. The interior has not been seen, but original shutters remain on the ground floor windows. The living was in the gift of the Crown.
