Description
No. 1 Bromyard Road is a large house that was originally a vicarage and is now used for mixed purposes, including a clinic, parish office, and residential space. The building has three main phases of development: the early 17th century, the 18th to 19th centuries, and the 19th to 20th centuries. The core of the structure, which is adjacent to the church, features part timber-frame construction with brick and wattle-and-daub infill in small square panels, clasped purlins, and sections of brick. Some stone window surrounds are present, all covered by a plain clay tile roof, with a parapeted southeast gable. A tall brick gable-end stack with a corbelled top and chimney pots is also notable.
The building's plan may have originally been 'H'-shaped but is now approximately 'T'-shaped. There are four truss positions identified in the north wing, suggesting a three-bay layout that includes a narrow staircase bay. The house is two stories high, with two first-floor windows on the northern (rear) elevation. The early elevations have either been altered or are no longer visible, making the original window arrangement unclear. Currently, the windows are mainly timber side-hung casements, along with mullion and transom windows at the southeast corner. The principal elevation likely faced southeast, but the entrance is now located on the northwest side, accessed through an open porch with a six-panel door.
Inside, the building retains a late 17th to early 18th-century staircase featuring slender turned balusters, a substantial moulded handrail, and flat moulded caps on the newel posts. The upper floor displays exposed jowl posts, and there is a bolection moulded fireplace surround. Part of the ground floor has black and white tiling, and the roof structure consists of double purlins with trenched purlins.
Historically, map evidence indicates that an extension to the church and the vicarage occurred after 1886 and before 1928.
