Description
The Vicarage is a vicarage dated 1647, which was refronted and extended in the late 18th century. It is constructed of limestone rubble with gritstone dressings and features a graduated stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and measures three bays wide, with an additional bay added to the left. It has quoins at the corners. The central entrance consists of a half-glazed door set in a weathered moulded surround, with quoined jambs and a lintel that is dated "1647". There are traces of a blocked doorway to the left of the first bay window.
On the ground floor, there are three-light flat-faced mullioned windows with sashes flanking the entrance, and three square windows with plain surrounds above. To the far left, there are paired sashes with glazing bars in plain surrounds, with a similar window above. The far left features a plain banded stack, while more elaborate stacks with moulded cornices flank the original three bays of the house, similar to the ridge between the third and fourth bays.
At the rear, there is a glazed door in a surround with chamfered quoined jambs at the center, and to the left, a low-set two-light window with hollow chamfers, along with a 20th-century window further left. Above the door, there is a small-paned sash window, with a similar window to the right. Eaves stacks are present at bays one and four. The right return shows visible quoins and the line of the 17th-century gable, along with a small round-headed hollow-chamfered window on the first floor to the left.
