Vicarage Cottage Garden Wall And Gate Piers

Vicarage Cottage is a village farmhouse dating from the early to mid 19th century. It is built of coursed rubble with a stone slate roof and has a plain rectangular shape divided into two parts, aligned northwest to southeast, with a southwest aspect. The building features four windows on each side, with 16-pane glazing bar sashes set in raised surrounds. The entrance is quoined and has a simple flat bracketed hood above a glazed 20th-century door. The roof has coped end verges supported by kneelers and is low pitched. There are paired integral end stacks from the mid 19th century, along with an additional pair to the right of center, positioned closely against an earlier ashlar stack, suggesting that the right-hand section is an addition. The front garden is defined by a low wall, about 150mm high, with rounded capping leading up to gate piers that also have shaped capping. This structure is an integral part of the picturesque village grouping.
