Coddenham House

Coddenham House, built around 1770 as a vicarage for Sir Nicholas Bacon, is a two-storey house with a basement, constructed of red brick. It features a string course at the first floor and has a low-pitched hipped roof with internal red brick chimneys. The façade includes five windows, with a three-window service range on the left side. The windows are small-pane sashes with flat arches made of gauged brick. The entrance has a six-panelled door topped with a semicircular fanlight and panelled linings. A notable portico porch with a modillioned cornice is supported by Ionic columns and is accessed by a flight of twelve limestone steps with wrought iron handrails. The service wing has its own entrance with a similar, but smaller, set of steps. Inside, there are good Adam-type fireplaces and grates. A limestone tablet, likely from another building, is set into the service range and features the Bacon emblem (a pig) along with the date 1630. In the early 19th century, an attic storey was removed from the main range.
