The Vicarage Including Attached Forecourt Wall

The Vicarage, located on Vicar Street, has origins dating back to the 16th century but is primarily a 17th-century building with 18th-century details. It is constructed from flint and brick, topped with a roof made of black glazed pantiles. The south front features two storeys and a dormer attic arranged in three bays. The central entrance has a panelled door with margin lights, topped by a six-vaned fanlight. The doorcase is flanked by a pair of fluted engaged columns with fern capitals. Above the door is a tripartite sash window with glazing bars. The flanking bays are designed as bows, each lit by sash windows with glazing bars and gauged skewback arches. The roof has a bell-based gable with two flat-topped dormers that contain leaded casements. There is a ridge stack located to the left of centre and an internal gable end stack on the west side, with an external stack on the east. To the west, there is a two-storey extension, and attached to the northeast is another two-storey extension built around 1910, also of flint with brick dressings. This extension features an overhanging three-bay window and a hipped roof. The north side, which serves as the entrance, also has two storeys and a dormer attic, with a hipped outshut at ground level.

Inside, the southeast ground floor room showcases mid-18th-century large-frame panelling and a re-used tie beam with sunk quadrant mouldings and double jewel stops. The kitchen, located at the west end, includes two late 17th-century two-panel doors. A stick baluster staircase with a ramped and wreathed handrail is found in a circular stairwell. Extending along Vicar Street is an attached forecourt wall made of flint and brick, featuring a gate pier to the north. In the southern section, there are a pair of square-section gault brick gate piers that enclose a re-used wave-moulded stone arch, which contains a plank and muntin timber door.
