The Vicarage Including Garden Boundary Wall And Gate Piers To South And South East

BUDLEIGH SALTERTON WEST HILL SY 08 SE 3/34 The Vicarage including garden boundary wall and gate-piers to South and South east II

Vicarage. Circa 1860. Stuccoed, probably stone rubble. Welsh slate roof; the gable ends have ornate pierced wooden bargeboards and pendants, their finials having been cut off. Rendered stacks with moulded cornices and louvred yellow clay pots. Plan: Double depth plan. Two principal front rooms on the east with a central entrance between. The internal arrangement is uncertain but there is probably a third principal room to the rear left (south west) and therefore the service rooms would be in the rear right hand corner of the house. The style is a combination of picturesque Tudor Gothic with Italianate details. Exterior: 2 storeys and attic. Symmetrical 3-bay east front, the wider outer bays are gabled and advanced slightly and the narrow centre bay is recessed. Moulded string-course at first floor window sill level. To left and right canted bays with console brackets to the cornices and panelled surrounds to the windows. On the first floor round-headed windows paved to right and left and single light at centre, each with moulded extrados on brackets and small round-headed single-light attic windows with bracketed sills in gables above. Central doorway with a rendered porch, its gable with similar bargeboards to the main gables, similar door-head as the first floor windows. The left hand side is asymmetrical with a gable to left, similar bargeboards and windows as to the front gables. The windows are the original large 4-pane sashes and the attic windows are casements. The right hand side and rear elevations were not inspected. Interior not inspected but might contain interesting features such as chimney pieces and original joinery including the staircase etc. Including garden boundary wall and gate-piers to south and south east. Probably contemporary with the house. The wall is built of flint with bands of red brick and rustic flint capping ramped up to higher level at left hand end and curved at the right hand corner. The wall is also curved into the carriage gateway near the right hand end where there are 2 large stuccoed gate-piers square on plan, with large moulded caps surmounted by festooned urns.
