Description
The Vicarage is an early 19th-century building with mid 19th-century additions, constructed from coursed squared rubble gritstone. It features plain gables, quoins, intermediate and end stone ridge stacks, and a roof covered with stone slates and concrete tiles. The building has an irregular 'U' plan and is two storeys high with four bays, the southwest end being an addition. The windows are glazing bar sashes set in flush stone surrounds, although the ground floor windows to the northeast of the doorway have lost their glazing bars. There are two-storey canted bay windows in the added end bay. The off-centre doorway has a quoined surround, a heavy stone lintel, and a 20th-century glazed door. A tall garden wall made of coursed gritstone with shallow saddleback copings encloses the garden to the south. Notably, the novelist Charlotte Bronte lived here in 1845, and the village of Hathersage inspired the fictional settlement of Morten in her novel "Jane Eyre."
