Description

St Michael's Vicarage is a vicarage built in the late 17th century, with later extensions and alterations from the late 18th and 19th centuries. The building features roughcast walls topped by a Welsh slate roof and has roughcast chimney stacks. It is two storeys high and consists of three bays, with a single-bay extension to the right under a common roof and a further gabled and set-back extension at the extreme right. The left bay is gabled, and together with the middle two bays, these represent the original house. The windows include 2- and 3-light chamfered stone-mullioned designs, three of which are 19th-century replacements, all fitted with leaded casements. The extensions have sash windows with glazing bars set in painted stone surrounds. The right extension features a 20th-century polygonal glazed porch that covers a six-panel door in a painted stone surround. The rear of the building has sash windows, some with glazing bars, all in painted stone surrounds. There is a single-storey outbuilding to the left, which is not of interest.
