Description

The Vicarage is a Victorian parsonage, likely dating from the mid-19th century, constructed of grey snecked rock-faced rubble stone with Bath stone dressings, grey slate roofs, and terracotta ridges. It is built in a simplified Gothic style, evident in its varied gabled elevations.

The building comprises a main gabled west range with two east-side stacks, and a parallel L-plan range extending to the east and south. The south end gable of the main range is slightly lower than the main range itself and is advanced. A taller, advanced north-east rear gable and a large north-side outside chimneybreast are also prominent features. The chimneys originally had tall red brick stacks set diagonally, but these are now truncated.

The west front has a three-window range and a diagonal south-west buttress. It features three-light ground floor windows with segmental pointed relieving arches, a three-light window to the first floor on the left, and two two-light windows. The north end gable is blank except for a doorway leading to a demolished conservatory. The south end gable has a first-floor two-light window with a brattished dripmould and pointed relieving arch, and a ground floor bay projecting to line with an adjoining gable. This bay has a hipped roof to the south-west and two two-light windows with a continued sill course across the gable to the right. An advanced gable to the right has a ground floor three-light window with a segmental pointed relieving arch and a matching first-floor two-light window. A buttress marks the south-east corner. A lean-to, original porch is situated in the angle on the east side, against the east-facing wall, followed by a later, almost detached, hipped-roofed porch with a buttressed south end and a pointed arched south door. A three-light window is present on the east side. The main east wall has a pair of first-floor three-light mullion windows to the right. The south wall of the north-east gable features a first-floor three-light window with a relieving arch. The east gable end has a five-light kitchen window below with a relieving arch, a high string course, and a four-light attic window above with a cambered relieving arch. On the north side, a large outside chimneybreast is present to the left, with a gabled outbuilding running north. This outbuilding has centre eaves-breaking gable over an attic four-light mullion window, and two-light and single-light windows on each floor below. A windowless end-gable is located on the west front, with a doorway leading to the demolished conservatory.

The interior retains its original Victorian parsonage character, with six-panel doors, pine mantlepieces, and an open stair with a pine Gothic balustrade.
