Description

The Vicarage is a two-storey plus attic building constructed from coursed rubble stone blocks, featuring grey stone quoins and window dressings. The roof is covered with 20th-century tiles and has vitrified brick end stacks that are recessed in tiers. The building has a three-window range with 4-pane horned sash windows, flat-headed stone lintels, and tile sills. The window heads are adorned with dripstones that have dropped and returned ends, and dormers spring from the eaves.

A central porch is painted roughcast and has a corniced horizontal parapet, with a cambered stucco doorhead that features a fluted keyblock. The inner doorway consists of a half-glazed door and a traceried overlight. The west gable is roughcast while the east gable is stone. The symmetrical rear elevation includes a central half-glazed door, with 4-pane horned sashes on the ground floor and 2-pane horned sashes on the first floor, along with central stair windows. There is a 20th-century window on the top floor to the right. A lean-to structure made of rubble stone with a slate roof is attached to the west gable. To the left of this lean-to is a stable featuring a 20th-century window and a plank door with a small inset window, while to the right are doors leading to the coach-house.

Inside, the central oblong hall has simple cornice moulding. On either side of the hall, 6-panel doors lead into the principal downstairs rooms. At the far end, a 6-panel door (originally a pair of double, 3-panel doors that have been joined) with a radiating fanlight opens into the rear stairwell. The dog-leg staircase features simple square section balusters. The upstairs rooms have not been seen.
