Description

The Vicarage is a Georgian house with two storeys and an attic, featuring three bays. The exterior has roughcast walls and a slate roof with roughcast end stacks. The central bay projects forward under a hipped roof and has chamfered angles. On the right side of the central bay, there is a fielded-panel door. The front of the house has hornless sash windows, except for the upper right where a 12-pane window has been replaced. Gabled roof dormers contain two-light small-pane windows.

On the right side, there is a lower two-storey, one-bay wing from the late 19th century, which features canted bay windows with sashes and a roughcast end stack. On the left side, a one-storey wing is set back and has a doorway with margin lights framing a half-lit door beneath a blind round-headed arch.

At the back of the main house, there is a lower two-storey projection with an added one-storey gabled projection on the left side. An outshut is attached to the single-storey wing.

The lower storey of the central bay at the front serves as a porch, featuring a half-lit panelled front door that leads into a central stair hall. The stair, located towards the rear, has winders at the bottom, turned balusters with a wreathed handrail, and beneath it are stone steps leading to a cellar.
