Description
The Vicarage is a detached dwelling that was formerly a vicarage, built in the late 18th century. It has a rendered exterior and a Welsh slate roof. The building consists of two parts: the main section is a symmetrical three-storey unit with three windows, while the secondary unit is one storey lower and steps down to a semi-basement due to the slope of the ground.
In the main unit, the ground and first floors feature three-light sash windows with glazing bars, while the second floor has a single centrally located sash window with small panes and no bars. The entrance is marked by a central four-panel door set in an architrave, topped by an umbrella hood supported by cast iron brackets. The lower wing on the left side has two storeys, with one window on the first floor to the right, and a plain door below. There is also a second door on the first floor to the left, which is accessed by an external stone staircase. Inside, the property retains window shutters.
