The Old Vicarage

The Old Vicarage is a house built in 1823, located on the north side of Colchester Road in Thorpe-le-Soken. It is constructed from gault and red brick in Flemish bond and has a slate roof. The building features a double-pile plan facing southwest, with two internal stacks arranged symmetrically. There is a late 19th-century service range at the rear right with a hipped roof of shallow pitch, and a 20th-century flat-roofed single-storey extension to the rear left.

The house is two storeys high and has cellars. The front facade has a three-window range of original sash windows, each with 12 lights and flat brick arches, while the lower windows are recessed in segmental arches. Central double half-glazed doors are set within a Greek Doric portico, which has fluted columns, triglyphs, and three stone steps leading up to it. The building also features a chamfered plinth and corner pilaster strips. The roof is hipped and has a shallow pitch. The front and sides are made of gault brick, which bonds with red brick at the rear. The building's accounts are referenced in E.A. Wood's "A History of Thorpe-le-Soken to the year 1890," published in 1975.
