Description
The Vicarage is a vicarage built around 1854 by builder Cox Wilson. It is constructed from coursed squared limestone with gritstone dressings and quoins. The building features a shallow plinth and steeply pitched slate roofs, along with stone coped gables that have moulded kneelers. There is a row of four tall diamond section stone stacks on the south ridge and two shorter stacks on the north ridge. The structure has two bays and two storeys, following a double pile plan.
On the west elevation, there is a double gabled facade with a two-storey canted bay window on the south side and a three-light recessed and chamfered mullion window to the north. The southern bay window includes trefoil-headed lancets, and above it, similar windows are arranged in the same way. The northern gable features a blank plaque. At the rear, there is a stepped trefoil-headed triple lancet stair window. The east elevation has a large external stack with a window.
