Amesbury, 3 Vicarage Street

A group of three former cottages, dating from the 17th and 19th centuries, were combined in the 20th century to create a single dwelling. The cottages are built from coursed dressed limestone with ashlar quoins, and have a roof covered with reconstituted stone tiles. The front elevation, facing Vicarage Street, is divided into four bays. The left-hand bay is a three-storey 19th-century cottage featuring three-light casement windows with segmental arches to the lower two floors, and a two-light casement window above. A blocked segmental-arched doorway is present on the ground floor, its arch partially cut into the quoins of the adjacent 17th-century cottage. The central two bays represent a 17th-century cottage and a half-storey; they have coursed dressed limestone with ashlar quoins. On the ground floor there is a two-light mullioned window and a chamfered door surround with a deep lintel, both sheltered by stopped hoods. The first floor has a two-light casement with a stopped hood, and the attic storey is blank. The right-hand bay is another 19th-century cottage with two storeys. It has three-light casement windows on each floor, all with segmental arches. A segmental-arched doorway is present on the ground floor; its arch is partially cut into the quoins of the older house to the left. The rear elevation has four bays. The western bay, originally a 19th-century cottage, has a segmental-arched doorway, a 20th-century segmental-arched, two-light casement window on the first floor, and a large 20th-century attic window. Further east, the central bays feature a small cellar window, two three-light mullioned windows on the ground floor, two two-light mullioned windows on the first floor, all under stopped hoods. A 20th-century three-light casement window is above. The fourth bay, a projecting 19th-century cottage, has a large five-light mullioned window to the ground floor and a four-light mullioned window to the first floor, both under stopped hoods. A 20th-century three-light casement window is located above. The chimney stacks were rebuilt in the 20th century.
