Description
The Vicarage, with its attached front garden wall, dates to around 1830, with extensions added in the late 19th century. The main house is constructed of ashlar magnesian limestone, with a graduated slate roof. It is two storeys and three bays wide, with an attached screen wall to the right, later incorporated into a two-storey, single-bay wing on the left. A front garden wall encloses a rectangular garden. A stone staircase leads to a central panelled front door, which has a three-pane overlight, a flat arch, and a peaked canopy supported by shaped wooden brackets. The ground floor bays flank the door with unequally-hung four-pane sashes, set in reveals with projecting stone sills and flat arches. The first floor has a sash with glazing bars in the centre, flanked by sixteen-pane sashes in matching openings. Paired wooden gutter brackets are present, along with a cement-rendered end stack on the left and a stone end stack on the right. The screen wall on the right includes a blind window featuring a carved shield of Christchurch College, Oxford (the patron), and a doorway with a boarded door. The left wing features a four-pane sash, a smaller sash, and a further sash with glazing bars to the first floor; the left end has a hipped roof. The front garden wall sweeps down from the screen walls, returns, and lines the pavement onto the High Street, featuring domed copings which sweep up to square gate piers opposite the front door. The rear of the main house has a six-panel door to the left of centre, under a flat arch, with a four-pane sash and otherwise sixteen-pane sashes with flat arches. A round-headed sash with glazing bars is located above the door. Inside, there is a contemporary wooden staircase with square baluster rods and a ramped handrail.
