Description
The Old Vicarage is an early 18th-century vicarage, now a house, located in Warborough. It is constructed from coursed squared clunch rubble with an old plain-tile roof, featuring brick gable stacks. The building follows a T-plan and is symmetrical, with a five-window front. A storey band links to projecting keyblocks, and a heavy wooden modillion cornice runs along the top. The windows are 12-pane sashes set within architrave frames, and the front features a six-panel door with a rectangular Adam-style overlight and a Doric doorcase, consisting of fluted pilasters and a triglyph entablature. Ground-floor windows have stone flat arches. There are five lead-covered dormers in the roof. The rear of the building has more sashes and a small service wing to the left. Inside, a fine open-well staircase rises to the attics, with a ramped handrail, closed string and alternating turned and barley-sugar balusters. A stone bolection fireplace is also a notable feature.
