Description

Coldor, Valley View, and Oakdene is a former vicarage that has been converted into three dwellings. It dates from the mid-17th century, possibly incorporating parts of an older structure, with later additions and alterations from the late 18th to early 19th centuries. The building features rubble masonry, with a pebble-dashed rear wing, and has concrete-tiled roofs along with stone and brick chimney stacks.

The structure is arranged in an L-plan, with the main block (Coldor on the left and Valley View and part of Oakdene on the right) and a late 18th-century wing (Oakdene) at the right rear. The main block, which is partly built into a bank, has a two-storey front and a single-storey rear. The five-window front displays flush quoins, a straight joint, and quoins to the left of centre, while the original section on the right features a boulder plinth. The openings are scattered and have late 18th to early 19th-century raised tooled surrounds, with replaced casements on the ground floor, an interrupted first-floor sill band, and three 12-pane sashes above.

The end bays have two-storey canted stone bay windows with replaced doors, 12-pane sashes, and hipped roofs. The door jambs on the right bay show tooling that may indicate the use of re-used Roman material. The steeply-pitched roof has coped gables and shaped kneelers, with rebuilt brick stacks at the right end and ridge, and a stone stack at the left end with a water table. There is a stepped external chimney on the right return.

At the rear, there is a single-storey outshut with two 16-pane sashes in rough square surrounds and a ramped coping on the gable. The four-bay rear wing has altered fenestration, a fire-insurance mark above a 20th-century porch, a steeply-pitched roof with a coped gable end, and rebuilt brick ridge stacks. The late 20th-century glazed porch on the rear wing and the addition on the left return of the main block are not considered of special interest.
