Description
The Vicarage is a vicarage dating from around 1700, with restoration in the 19th century. It is constructed of coursed Doulting rubble with dressed quoins and features restored stone stacks with caps, as well as a circular brick stack on the left side. The building has an "L"-shaped plan and a virtually symmetrical facade. It is two stories tall with an attic and has six bays. The ground floor has ovolo moulded stone mullioned windows, while the upper floor features chamfered mullioned windows, both with two lights and continuous moulded strings above the window heads. There is a gabled stone porch with a moulded four-centred door opening, which contains a 20th-century half-glazed door. To the left side, there is a two-bay return with tall mullioned windows of two lights that have angled labels, as well as a small attic light.
