Description

The Vicarage to St Andrew's Church, dating from circa 1860, was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott and has undergone minor alterations in the 20th century. Constructed of orange brick with blue brick and ashlar dressings, the roof is covered in Swithland slate with terracotta ridge pieces and wavy bargeboards. The building features truncated ridge and rear wall stacks.

The main front features a centrally positioned, projecting gabled wooden porch with chamfered posts and a slate roof. The doorway within the porch has an inner pointed arch constructed of orange and blue brick, leading to a panelled door with linen fold details. Above the door is a small two-light window set within a chamfered surround. To the right of the porch is a canted bay window with a three-light cross casement and a hipped slate roof. Above this bay is a gabled through-eaves dormer window with a cross casement in a pointed arched surround with orange and blue brick voussoirs. A slightly projecting gabled wing extends to the right, featuring three-light cross casement windows on both floors, all set within pointed arched surrounds with orange and blue brick voussoirs. The left return of this wing has a single cross casement in a pointed arch surround. A recessed entrance door, also within a pointed arch surround, has a six-panel door, decorative fanlight, and a single cross casement to each floor, all within pointed arched surrounds and orange and blue brick voussoirs, with the upper window within a through-eaves dormer.

The northeast front displays a three-light cross casement above which is a 20th-century cross casement, both set within pointed arch surrounds with orange and blue brick voussoirs. A lean-to extension with a 20th-century casement in a segment-arched surround is set back on the left side.

The southwest front has two gables, the left one slightly forward. Both have three-light cross casements on the ground floor, and above, a two-light cross casement to the left and a three-light cross casement to the right, all in pointed arched surrounds with orange and blue brick voussoirs.

The rear front includes a single-story lean-to to the right, two two-light cross casements to the centre within segment-arched surrounds with orange and blue brick voussoirs and above, a single similar window within a pointed arched surround forming a through-eaves dormer. A large three-light staircase window with a segment arched hood is also present.

The interior retains many original features, including six-panelled doors in moulded frames, deep skirting boards, moulded plaster coving, and panelled shutters to ground floor windows. A hallway features an inner pointed archway leading to the staircase. The dog-leg staircase has chamfered square newel posts with small ball finials, chamfered square balusters, and a moulded handrail. Simple painted stone Gothic arched fireplaces are found in most rooms, and the service passage has an orange Minton tile floor. First floor rooms feature canted ceilings with exposed wooden beams supported on stone corbels. Most upper floor rooms also retain original simple painted stone fireplaces.
