Description

The Vicarage is a former pair of houses, dating to around 1820, later altered. It was originally commissioned for John Major, a local landowner. The building is constructed of stuccoed brick and stone, with painted white detailing, and has hipped and mansard slate roofs. There are two gabled dormers on the front of the mansard roof, and brick stacks with chimney pots. The plan comprises a central block with a hipped roof, a smaller block with a mansard roof to the right, and a wing incorporating a garage to the left.

The central block and wing to the left are two storeys high, while the block to the right is single-storey and has an attic. The front of the central block features three widely spaced bays, with a raised band at the first floor sill level and a coped parapet. A projecting entrance porch, with a crowning entablature, is centrally located, and contains a four-panel door with glazed upper panels, set within a moulded architrave. To the left of the porch is a canted bay window surmounted by an entablature, with a sash window featuring glazing bars (3x4 panes) on the front, and narrower sashes (2x4 panes) on each canted side. To the right of the porch are a pair of 20th-century French doors with glazing bars. The first floor has three sash windows with glazing bars (3x4 panes). The lower front of the block to the left is flush with the central block, and continues the raised band, with a crowning cornice above the parapet. This section has two large sash windows, featuring glazing bars (4x4 panes), set within openings with floating cornices and projecting stone sills. Above, the mansard roof has two dormers with bargeboards to the gable ends, each with a sash window featuring glazing bars (3x4 panes). The wing to the left has a projecting garage on the ground floor, and a sash window with glazing bars (3x4 panes) on the first floor. The rear elevation has an irregular pattern of mostly sash windows with glazing bars. A two-storey canted bay with a sash window (3x4 panes to the front, 2x4 panes to each side) is located on the left side of the central block, while to the right is a 20th-century French door with sidelights.

The interior was not inspected. The building was originally known as Chosen or Coles Villa. From 1862 to 1952, it served as the Vicarage for Hucclecote.
