Description
The Old Vicarage is a 16th-century timber-framed and plastered house located in Wickhambrook. It features a crosswing at the east end, which has a jettied upper storey supported by brackets. The gable displays 19th-century cut and shaped bargeboards. The west block is believed to date from the 15th century, while the wing is from the 16th to 17th century. The building has two storeys and attics. The windows are 19th-century casements with leaded lights, and the west block has mullioned and transomed windows with hood moulds on the ground floor. An early 19th-century block was added at the rear, which includes double-hung sashes with margin glazing bars and some French casements on the ground floor. The roof is tiled, featuring two gabled dormers at the front, while the 19th-century block has a slate roof. Inside, there is exposed timber framing. The Old Vicarage is part of a group that includes the Church of All Saints, Almshouses, White Horse House, and Nos 1 to 3 (consecutive) and Sunnyside.
