The Old Vicarage And Adjoining Out-Buildings

The Old Vicarage and adjoining out-buildings is a former vicarage that underwent remodelling in the late 18th century, with repairs made in 1866 by Edward Williams of Tiverton. The building is whitewashed and rendered, likely built from stone rubble, and features a slate roof that is hipped at the ends, with brick chimney stacks located at the rear of the ridge.

The structure has an L-shaped plan, with the main block oriented on a north-south axis and a crosswing at the south end. The earlier house, predating the 18th century remodelling, was likely also L-shaped, but little remains to clearly define its original layout. A thick axial wall indicates that the main block was originally single depth. Currently, it contains two principal heated rooms, one on either side of a central entrance passage that leads to a rear stair hall, with smaller rooms located at the back on both sides. The crosswing, which includes a service stair, has been adapted for use as a kitchen and service rooms, while the front room has been converted into a garage.

The building is two storeys high and features a symmetrical three-bay front on the main block. The end of the crosswing on the right side is blind except for 20th-century garage doors. Rusticated quoins mark the junction between the main block and the crosswing. The central entrance features a panelled front door flanked by reeded pilasters and a lattice porch, with a 12-pane sash window above the door and tripartite sashes on either side. At the rear, there is a block of single-storey outbuildings and walls that create a small yard, which is accessed through a gateway to the right of the house, marked by square-section gate piers.

Inside, the property showcases 18th and 19th-century joinery, including panelled doors and shutters. The stick baluster stair is from the late 19th or early 20th century. Very little of the original house remains, apart from a moulded crossbeam in the wing and remnants of three roof trusses, likely from the 17th century or earlier, located above the wing beneath a later roof structure.
