The Vicarage

The Vicarage is a large detached house built in the Regency style. It is entirely rendered, with stucco on the front and roughcast on the sides. The roof is hipped and covered with Welsh slate, featuring a shallow pitch and deep overhanging eaves supported by brackets. There is a narrow lateral chimney stack on the left side. The building has two storeys, an attic, and a cellar.

The front facade originally had a three-window range of 12-pane sash windows on the first floor, but these have been replaced with UPVC windows, while the rear windows remain unchanged. On the ground floor, there are tripartite windows that have also been replaced, situated on either side of a central flat-roofed porch, which is accessed by two shallow stone steps. The main inner doorway is original, featuring part-panelled construction with small-pane glazing above. At the rear, there is a small single-storey wing with a pyramidal roof and a large lateral chimney stack, which may have been a former laundry.

Inside, the porch has a flagged floor. The central hallway leads to reception rooms on either side and a staircase at the rear that retains stick balusters and a wreathed handrail, ascending through two storeys. Original features include architraves with roundels, panelled shutters and reveals, and six-panelled doors, some of which have a vertical moulding to mimic double doors. The upper floor, which was used as servants' quarters, retains boarded partitions that create a series of small rooms, some with only internal windows, and wide floorboards. The vaulted brick cellar, accessible from a steep flight of stairs at the back of the hall, contains a set of meat or bottle shelves. The presence of a draught suggests that a now-blocked archway at the end may connect to a tunnel running beneath The Lawns.
