Description

Wickham House, formerly known as The Old Rectory, was built in 1713 by the Reverend Alexander Young, who served as the Rector of Wickhambreaux from 1712 to 1755. This two-storey building features attics and a basement, constructed from brown brick with red brick dressings. It has a steeply-pitched hipped tiled roof with brick chimneystacks at both the north and south ends. The façade includes two small dormers with wooden pediments, and in the center, there is a brick portion of one window that has been built out, likely at a later date, flanked by pilasters and topped with a pediment. The house has five sash windows with segmental heads and intact glazing bars, along with aprons beneath the windows.

At the top of eight steps, there is an early 19th-century doorcase featuring an iron handrail. This doorcase is set within a moulded architrave surround, complete with a projecting cornice on brackets, a rectangular fanlight, and a door with four moulded panels. Inside, the house contains an 18th-century staircase with two turned balusters on each tread, a drawing room with fine panelling, and an 18th-century fireplace that is not originally from this house, along with other contemporary panelling and marble fireplaces.
