Description
The Old Vicarage is a house located on Higham Road, dating from the 16th century with alterations and additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features a timber frame, partially rendered, with later sections fully rendered and a slate roof. The original 16th-century front range has a rear cross wing, creating an L-shaped plan, and there is an additional range to the left that runs parallel to the road, which was extended in the 20th century. To the right is a 19th-century range.
The house is two storeys high. The front range displays close studding with arched down braces and a jettied first floor. The ground floor has small lights between the studs, while the first floor features two 3-light mullion windows with small side lights; the left window has a cusped tracery head. A ridge stack is located to the right. The 19th-century addition on the right is recessed, with a boarded door in an architrave, wood mullion windows with leaded lights, and a hipped roof with a three-bay right return. The current entrance to the rear cross wing is situated at the angle with the range parallel to the road, featuring a 20th-century door in a 19th-century doorcase with a flat hood on consoles. Throughout the building, there are wooden mullion windows with leaded lights.
Inside, the staircase leading to the 19th-century range is of 18th-century style, featuring carved tread ends, two column-on-vase balusters with square knops per tread, column newels, and a ramped handrail.
