Description

Skirwith Vicarage, together with its attached coach house and stables, was built in 1856 and designed by Messrs Francis. The vicarage is constructed of red sandstone with graduated stone slate roofs, raised coped gables with kneelers. It is two storeys high and features a chamfered plinth and moulded eaves.

The south front has a slightly projecting, gabled wing with a projecting square bay window containing two cross casements. Above the bay window is a three-light cross casement. To the left of the wing is a cross casement on each floor. To the right is a porch with a doorway featuring a four-centred arch. The east front includes a projecting gabled cross wing with a single-light window on the ground floor and a cross casement above. A small lean-to addition adjoins the wing, followed by a cross casement on the ground floor and two cross casements above; one is a through eaves dormer.

A low wall connects the vicarage to the coach house and stable block, which is a single-storey range. A carriage arch is centrally placed under a gable with a single window. To the left of the arch are two doors with cross casements between, followed by a two-light mullion window, a doorway, and a further cross casement. All doorways are topped with chamfered four-centred arches.

The interior retains original features including all doors, skirting, plaster ceilings and a staircase with two balusters per tread.
