Description
The Vicarage, Vicarage Cottage, and attached front garden wall are located in Barrow in Furness and date from the early to mid-19th century. The buildings are constructed of roughcast stone and feature graduated slate roofs. The Vicarage is two storeys tall with an attic and consists of three bays, including a two-storey single-bay side wing that is set forward on the left, which is the Vicarage Cottage.
The Vicarage has a central stone porch supported by Doric columns, featuring a part-glazed six-panel door and a fanlight with curved glazing bars beneath a broken pediment. A later 19th-century canted bay window on the right has four-pane sash windows, while the rest of the windows have projecting sills with twelve-pane sashes. The eaves have later fascia boards, and the verges oversail, with later brick stacks at the ends.
Vicarage Cottage has a six-pane sash window on the ground floor and a small inserted window on the right. The first floor features a sash window with glazing bars, and the roof is hipped. Inside The Vicarage, there is a contemporary staircase with square rods leading to a wreathed handrail and a niche at the half-landing, along with a later attic stair. The front garden wall includes a limestone end pier on the right and octagonal gate piers opposite the porch, linked by a dwarf wall.
