Description
The Vicarage to St Fagan's Church is a two-storey building constructed with cement render and topped with slate roofs, which are partly hipped. It features two diagonally set chimney stacks along with other modern stacks. The main entrance is located on the south side and is marked by a Gothic gabled porch, notable for its quatrefoil panelled sides and a cusped arch at the front. To the left of the entrance, there is a gable with a 16-pane sash window above a later shallow bay projection.
On the east side, there are two gables; the left one steps forward and displays the Plymouth family coat of arms. This side also includes some 16-pane sash glazing, a splayed bay to the left, and twin 8-pane sashes to the right. Both gables are adorned with pendants and finials. The north side features another gable with small pane sashes and a rear porch, as well as a central gabled dormer and a lateral chimney breast, although the stack has been removed.
In the garden, there is an ironwork finial that was originally located on the west end of the church before the tower was built.
Inside, the public rooms are accessed from a long hall that has panelled doors and reveals, along with panelled shutters throughout the ground floor. The ceilings are high and feature cornices, except for the front left study, which has a false ceiling. The dog leg staircase is supported by simple uprights and has a quatrefoil punched string.
