Description
The Vicarage is a vicarage built in the late 17th century and extended in 1854 by E.F. Law. It is constructed from coursed squared limestone and features an old plain-tile roof, along with brick stacks at the ends and on the ridge. The building has a three-unit plan and is two storeys high with an attic, arranged in a five-unit layout.
The entrance includes a four-panel door with an overlight and a wooden lintel, positioned to the right of the center. To the left, there is a 20th-century back door, also with an overlight and wooden lintel. The ground and first floors have 12-pane sash windows, each with wooden lintels. A datestone, originally from another location, is located at the far right and features fluted pilasters that support a frieze and cornice framing a panel with the arms of Sir Robert Banastre, inscribed with S/RB/1613.
At the rear, there is a three-window range from 1854 that doubles the depth of the house, featuring yellow brick dressings, a tripartite sash window to the left of a part-glazed garden door, and a canted bay window to the right. Inside, the parlour showcases 18th-century fielded panelling and a fitted cupboard with a semi-domed head and shaped shelves. The hall is stone-flagged, and the kitchen contains an ogee-stop-chamfered spine beam and a large blocked open fireplace with a chamfered bressumer. The staircase hall in the rear range features an open-well staircase with stick balusters, a cast-iron standard, and a ramped and wreathed mahogany handrail. The roof has a collar-truss design, and the left end bay of the rear range is an addition.
