Description

The building is a vicarage, dated 1839, with the initials GEB (Rev G.E. Bell) above the rear entrance. It features coursed red sandstone rubble walls with pilaster strips at the corners and a hipped slate roof, complemented by a 20th-century brick chimney stack that matches the original. The structure is two storeys high and consists of three bays. A 20th-century wooden gabled glazed porch with a slate roof leads to the entrance, which has a plain stone surround, a top-glazed four-panel door, and a patterned fanlight. The sash windows, which have glazing bars, are framed by plain painted stone surrounds.

To the rear left, there are stables that include an inscription stone in the end wall stating "1903 IN LIEU OF FORMER BUILDINGS ERECTED 1684," indicating the date of the previous vicarage. The stables are constructed of hammer-dressed red sandstone with ashlar quoins and a Welsh slate roof, featuring a bottom course of sandstone slates and stone chimney stacks. The recessed entrance has a plank door, with a round arch cart entrance to the right and additional plank doors. A three-light mullioned window has casements with glazing bars, and a loft door above extends above the eaves with a shaped gable, flanked by slit vents. The rear side has mullioned windows and a corbelled-out gabled dormer. A cast-iron downpipe is decorated with scallop shell motifs. The vicarage is connected to the stables by single-storey open-sided storage sheds.
