Description

The Vicarage is a two-storey building dating from the 18th century, featuring a symmetrical front made of coursed rubble with five windows. It has a slate roof adorned with cresting, skylights, and slightly swept moulded eaves, along with red brick chimney stacks at each end. The windows are horned sash types without glazing bars, set beneath voussoir lintels, with brickwork at the ground floor. The central entrance boasts a fine doorcase with a bracket pediment, dentil cornice, voussoir lintel, reeded keystones, and fluted pilasters, leading to a later six-panel part-glazed door. The gable ends have wide eaves, and there is a small pane sash window to the left.

At the rear, there is a central two-window gabled cross range finished in scribed cement render with 19th-century details. The roof here is a mix of slate and concrete tiles, featuring a tall rubble chimney stack heightened in brick, wide eaves, and plain bargeboards. The cross range extends to the left rear and connects to Radnor House. A three-light swept roof dormer is located at the right rear above a horned sash window. The centre and left rear feature unusually angular lugged architraves, particularly prominent in the attic, with 12-pane sash windows on the first and attic floors. There is also a pitched roof extension beside the cross range at the right rear, which includes a greenhouse.

The interior retains a dog-leg staircase with square newels, closed string, turned balusters, and a toad's back handrail, which continues down into cobble-floored cellars that have a slot for a dog gate and a heavily boarded door. The main ground floor rooms feature dado rails, six-panel doors, panelled shutters, and window seats, with a bolection moulded chimney piece on the right. An arched opening at the rear of the passage leads to the kitchen, which has stop-chamfered beams and an irregularly shaped room to the rear left. The first floor has six-panel doors, while the attic is boarded. The roof structure consists of four bays with A-frame trusses and chamfered purlins. The building was disused at the time of inspection in April 1987.
