Description

St Stephen's Vicarage is a farmhouse that has been converted into a vicarage. It dates from the mid-18th century and has undergone alterations, including a 20th-century extension. The building is made of coursed horizontally-tooled sandstone, with the south front of the original house rendered. It features a Welsh slate roof with stone stacks, one of which is rendered. The structure is L-shaped, with a domestic north wing.

The south front is two storeys high, with three bays and an additional bay on the left. The central bay projects and is gabled, featuring a central half-glazed door with a plain fanlight and a pedimented hood supported by brackets. Flanking the entrance are canted bays from the 1860s, which have stone bases and sash windows with vertical bars. On the first floor, there are three 12-pane sash windows in wooden boxes, all under lintels with triple keystones. The left bay, added in the 1920s, has paired sash windows on the ground floor and a single sash above, all with four panes. All sash windows in both parts of the building have projecting cills.

The right return reveals a two-storey, four-bay lower domestic wing, which was likely converted from a barn or granary. This wing features modern glazing bar sashes of varying sizes, with two windows under extended keyed lintels. The rear elevation, which faces the road, includes a projecting domestic wing on the left and two bays to the right, with the right bay projecting and fitted with modern windows. A 20th-century porch fills the centre bay, featuring a half-glazed door with sidelights and a Venetian stair window above. The gable end of the domestic wing is canted, with a vent slit at the peak, stone coping, and block kneelers.

Inside, there is a cut-string staircase with two turned balusters, each with square knobs, leading to a tread. The handrail is wreathed above the curtail step, and the tread ends are shaped. The Venetian landing window is flanked by fluted Roman Doric columns, and the side corridors feature small modillions. The drawing room has an oval ceiling centerpiece with a moulded border and garlands, along with a 19th-century carved chimneypiece. A small rendered shed at the north-east corner is not of interest.
