II

Former vicarage. 1887 by JD Sedding. Plymouth limestone brought to course and rendered to upper floor; steep dry slate gabled roofs and tall brick stacks with 2 drip courses: central axial stack and a lateral stack. Arts and Crafts style. PLAN: irregular corner site plan with various projections designed to give interest from any viewpoint. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, plus attic over basement to main part; very irregular disposition of openings. Windows include many small single lights and there are both stone and wooden mullioned windows with 2 lights and multiple lights. There is a gabled projection facing south with an arch-braced shape to the gable partly framing a 5-light window above a 5-light-plus-sidelights oriel window carried on 3 shaped brackets. To ground-floor left of this elevation is a 2-light window with original patterned glazing. At far left, clasping the corner is what appears to be a stair projection with 2 small windows. Basement has openings with segmental or basket arches. West side has large gable with wide mullioned window. Below is a hipped roof supported on 2 half-hexagonal projections with balcony between them. Ground floor has doorway set into left-hand projection and is approached by steps with iron railings. The other elevations are similarly inventive and irregular incorporating various ideas inspired by domestic Gothic architecture. INTERIOR: has wide staircase with turned balusters and there are eared architraves to the doorcases. This building is an important example of small domestic architecture by Sedding.
