St Cuthbert'S Vicarage With Front Boundary Wall

The property is a vicarage dating from the early to mid-18th century, with some interior details from the 17th century and later additions. It is built of rendered and colourwashed material, with a Welsh slate roof, ashlar and concrete block chimney stacks, and has a compact double-depth plan with a central hall and staircase.

The exterior is two storeys with an attic, and presents a symmetrical five-bay façade, the central bay being wider and projecting slightly with a lead flat roof. The windows are sash windows with thick glazing bars, 12 panes per sash, set in plain openings; the first-floor window in the centre has a segmental arched head. The front entrance has a six-panel door protected by a timber hood on heavy brackets, flanked by slim eight-pane sash windows. A lean-to garage has been added to the front west gable.

Inside, the square entrance hall features an unusual "cornice" with lion-faced modillions but no accompanying moulding. A rear room on the right has three windows from the later 18th or early 19th century, the central one altered to form a door, a 20th-century fireplace, and rich panelled doors. The room to the left contains mid-18th century paired sash windows with shutters, a bolection mould fireplace, and painted 17th-century panelling, likely relocated from elsewhere. The dog-leg staircase is painted, showcasing turned-on-square balusters and fretted ends to the open string. A wide hallway with arched doorways runs along the rear of the property.

A tall boundary wall of random stonework runs along the north-west corner, with a boarded gate against the house. The wall steps down towards the front, returns along the front boundary at approximately 1.5 metres high, with concave upsweeps at each end. It has a gap for a gate opposite the front door and returns towards the house on the east side, with the height stepping up to about 3 metres, before a small downward sweep. The wall contributes to the setting of the house and the character of the streetscape.
