Vicarage, now private house. Probably C17 or earlier, enlarged and very much altered. White-painted coursed rubble, stone slate roof. A long single-depth range on a roughly north-south axis, in at least 3 builds. Main range of approximately 3 structural bays, with an early one-bay extension at the north end and a C19 one bay addition at the south end. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, with a west front of 1:5:1 windows. The 5-window main range has 3 small windows, a doorway and another small window at ground floor. Doorway with a part-glazed door and the windows mostly square, the 1st and 3rd being 6-pane sashes and the 2nd and 4th casements with glazing bars, and five 12-pane hornless sashes at 1st floor grouped 1:3:1; left hand end has a large square chimney stack with a wide cylindrical shaft, and on the ridge between the 4th and 5th windows a lateral chimney stack which has coupled cylindrical shafts. The extension to the left has a lean-to extension at ground floor, a narrow 4-pane sashed window above this and a gable chimney. The C19 addition to the right, which is slightly higher, has a wide round-headed window with margin panes, a narrow 6-pane window right of this with arched glazing bars in the top panes, a 12-pane sashed window at 1st floor; and a lateral chimney at the junction, with 3 clustered cylindrical shafts. The rear (or east front) has a full-height gabled turret to the centre of the main range, a bowed full-height extension to its south bay, 2 very small windows at 1st floor in line with its north chimney stack, and various hornless sashed windows including one tripartite sash on each floor of the C19 addition to the south end. INTERIOR: very thick walls at ground floor of main range; internal partitioning altered at various dates, so as to make the evolution of the structure almost unintelligible.
