Christchurch Vicarage

Christchurch Vicarage, built in 1871 and designed by Alfred Waterhouse, is a two and three-storey building made of grey brick with red brick quoins and dressings. It features an old tile roof with gables, toothed brick eaves and verges, and red brick chimneys, including a large chimney to the east with grey brick tumbling. The windows are mostly segmental headed plate glass sashes. A distinctive chequer band of grey and red brickwork runs over the ground floor. The south elevation has one gabled break and two southern gables, with two bracketed lean-tos for French windows on the ground floor. The east front includes a lean-to roof with a small room above the porch, a hipped gable break that is two windows wide next to the chimney, which has an arched doorway at its base, and a projecting one-and-a-half storey outhouse adjacent to the coachhouse wing.
