Description
All Saints Vicarage is a former vicarage built in 1887 by JD Sedding, located on Harwell Street in Plymouth. It is designed in the Arts and Crafts style and features Plymouth limestone that is brought to course and rendered on the upper floor. The building has steep dry slate gabled roofs and tall brick stacks with two drip courses, including a central axial stack and a lateral stack.
The vicarage sits on an irregular corner site, with various projections that create visual interest from different angles. It has two storeys, plus an attic over a basement, and the arrangement of openings is very irregular. The windows include many small single lights, as well as both stone and wooden mullioned windows with two lights and multiple lights. A gabled projection on the south side features an arch-braced shape that frames a five-light window above a five-light-plus-sidelights oriel window supported by three shaped brackets. To the left on the ground floor, there is a two-light window with original patterned glazing, and at the far left, there is a stair projection with two small windows. The basement has openings with segmental or basket arches.
On the west side, there is a large gable with a wide mullioned window, and below it is a hipped roof supported by two half-hexagonal projections with a balcony between them. The ground floor features a doorway set into the left-hand projection, approached by steps with iron railings. The other elevations are similarly inventive and irregular, incorporating various elements inspired by domestic Gothic architecture.
Inside, the vicarage has a wide staircase with turned balusters and eared architraves around the doorcases. This building is an important example of small domestic architecture by Sedding.
