Description
The Old Vicarage and attached stable range is a rectory, now a house, built in 1836 by C.R. Cockerell, possibly incorporating earlier elements. It is constructed of limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a Stonesfield-slate roof with lateral stacks. The building has a double-depth plan that includes service and stable ranges and is designed in a Tudor-Gothick style. It stands two storeys plus an attic.
The symmetrical garden front displays two large 12-pane sash windows with label moulds on the ground floor, while the first floor has three smaller 12-pane sashes linked by a continuous label that returns to similar windows in the end walls. The central gable and the main gables are adorned with stone parapets featuring moulded stepped copings and ball finials, and they contain small round windows. The ends of the building return to a hipped-roofed parallel range that has simpler sash windows. Lateral stacks between the ranges are set diagonally in groups.
A long glazed conservatory porch with Tudor-arched windows projects from the right end of the house. At the rear, there is an irregular single-storey service range made up of several elements, which terminates in a hipped-roofed coach house and stable. Inside, there is a dogleg stair with a mahogany handrail and stick balusters, along with early 19th-century joinery and ceiling cornices.
