Description

Deepleigh Residential Home, formerly known as Woodhorn Vicarage, is a vicarage that has been converted into an old folks' home. It was built in the 18th century in two phases, possibly incorporating older materials, with an east wing added in the early 19th century and some alterations made in the 20th century. The building is constructed of squared stone, with the east wing featuring tooled stone and tooled-and-margined dressings. The roof is covered with renewed pantiles and has old brick stacks.

The south front, which faces the garden, is two storeys high and consists of two sections. The 18th-century part has two, three, and three bays, with the sixth bay containing an altered flush-panelled door beneath a Gothick fanlight set in an archivolt. The 20th-century casement windows have been placed in the original openings, which have renewed lintels and sills. The left gable is coped, and the roof is hipped to the right, featuring a left end and two ridge stacks. The east wing, which is set back to the right, has two bays with similar windows in alternating-block surrounds on the first floor only, and its roof is also hipped to the right.

The rear elevation displays two projecting wings. The left wing has a renewed door in an old opening with an armorial tablet above it, while the right wing features a mounting block and a 12-pane sash stair window. On the first floor, there is a trompe l'oeil window and a renewed 12-pane sash window under keyed lintels. The right wing also has a 12-pane sash stair window.

Inside, there are two open-string open-well staircases with stick balusters and moulded newels. The doors are fielded-panel style. One room features an egg-and-dart cornice, and the sitting room includes a recess with a segmental moulded arch, likely intended for displaying china.
