The Vicarage Cottage and Yard Wall

The Vicarage Cottage and yard wall is a former gardener's house, coach-house, and stable associated with The Old Vicarage on Yeld Road, dating from around 1870 and altered in the 20th century. The building is constructed from coursed dressed limestone and features a red tile roof with crested ridges. The structure consists of an L-shaped block, with the gardener's house on the left and the converted coach-house and stable forming part of the dwelling, which includes an integral garage. There is a wall with a gateway in front of the cobbled stable yard.

The exterior is mostly one storey with an attic. The house has a boarded door on the right with an overlight and an ashlar surround. The gable features a plain central sash window in a chamfered, quoined surround, set on a deeply-chamfered projecting sill. The left side of the house has a triangular bay window with a hipped roof beneath a gabled half-dormer, and there are 1/1 sash windows on the right side. An end stack on the left has an offset beneath a yellow brick shaft and decorative brickwork at the top. To the right of the house, there are two openings that have been infilled with walling and large casements, along with overhanging eaves supported by shaped brackets. The right section is taller and features a segmental archway that is now glazed with a central door, and a casement window on the right. Above the arch is a lantern and a gabled half-dormer with a loft doorway. A brick end stack on the left matches that of the cottage, and the right end of the ridge returns to cover a louvre beneath a gablet. The front wing has two round windows and 20th-century garage doors facing the yard. The roof steps down from the ridge louvre and has a small stack to the left of the garage. The rear of the building includes four gabled roof dormers.

The interior has not been inspected. The wall across the stable yard features square gatepiers made of sandstone ashlar and coursed limestone, with deeply-chamfered caps topped with ball finials. This structure is likely part of the original design for the Vicarage site, which was laid out by Alfred Waterhouse and landscaped by Edward Milner.
