Description
The Vicarage is a house dating from the early 19th century. It originally comprised a pair of flint cottages, which were converted into a single dwelling and became the Vicarage in 1926. The south front has two windows, with a further two windows facing west. The house is stuccoed, with a wide eaves cornice and a hipped slate roof. The windows retain Venetian shutters and glazing bars. Each window bay on the south front is flanked by fluted Ionic pilasters. A later bay has been added to the ground floor of the westernmost window bay.
