Description

Vicarage Cottages are three attached houses that were formerly a vicarage. They date from the early 17th century, late 18th century, and early 19th century. The cottages are built from well-squared, coursed stone, with a less well-squared finish on the sides, and feature a stone slate roof. The structure is arranged in a 'U' plan with a rear wing and stands 2 and a half storeys tall.

The main block has two windows and a cross wing on the right that is one and a half storeys high, with all parts being one room deep. The 17th-century block on the left has 4-light mullioned windows in both wings, featuring a king mullion and iron opening lights, topped with hoodmoulds. There is a boarded door in a recess with a Tudor arch and a hoodmould above. The wings also have similar 4-light windows above, with 2-light windows in the centre that lack hoodmoulds. The gables of the wings have 2-light mullion windows with hoodmoulds, and the main roof has parapet gables at each end, with a chimney projection on the left return and a moulded cap.

The lower right wing has 2-light casement windows with iron opening lights, except for the first window, which is a blocked doorway. There is a deep stone lintel above a 2-light casement in the upper part, and two additional windows with deep stone lintels. A slight projection marks the end wing, which has a boarded door accessed by one stone step and a deep stone lintel. The roof features two gabled dormers, with a window in the stone gable that has a parapet and a cross gablet apex, and a chimney with a moulded cap on the ridge to the left.

Inside, there is a wide stone fireplace with timber lintels in the front rooms and wings of the main house. The building was once four houses but is now apparently three.
