Old Vicarage

The Old Vicarage is a former vicarage that has been converted into a house. It was built in 1846, with some minor additions made in the late 19th century. The architect was George Devey, and this project is likely his first independent commission. The building is designed in the Gothic revival style and features Kentish ragstone, ashlar, and red brick dressings, topped with a handmade red clay plain tile roof and timber bargeboards.

The structure is two storeys tall with an informal rectangular plan and an asymmetrical composition. The front elevation has walls that are battered down to a splayed brick first-floor band, with a splayed ashlar plinth. There are two gables, the left one being taller, and a diagonal offset buttress at the left corner. To the right, there is a massive external chimneystack with an irregular offset buttress and detached shafts that have splayed bases. The central entrance features a moulded four-centred arch and a hood mould.

On the left (west) side elevation, there is a first-floor band and plinth similar to the front. The right gable is rendered. Various chimneys are present, including a massive buttressed external stack on the right and a low-level ashlar shaft in the centre. The southwest corner is canted with buttresses that contain a single light lancet and a quatrefoil light in the plinth.

The rear (north) elevation has three gables, with two bays on the left that are later additions above the first floor, featuring tile hanging and timber casements. There is a single-storey lean-to on the right and two pairs of 20th-century French doors. The right (east) side elevation has a gable on the left and tile hanging on the first floor to the right. There is a canted ground floor bay window on the right and a pair of round-arched windows in the centre.

Inside, the original staircase features a balustrade that is part-boarded and part with short thick plain balusters. The front left room has a boarded ceiling and arched recesses flanking the hearth with a plain surround. The front right room includes a fireplace with a stone basket arch.
