Brownstones

Brownstones, formerly known as The Vicarage, is a house that dates back to 1612, with most of its structure dating from the mid-18th century. It is built from squared coursed lias stone and features a slate roof. The building has an L-shape plan and consists of two storeys with an attic. The main front has a three-window range of sash windows with glazing bars, all set under flat arches. There is a central half-glazed door from the 19th century. A flat string course runs between the two storeys, and the building has rusticated quoins. The gable parapets and kneelers are made of ashlar, and there are rendered brick stacks at both ends. On the right side elevation, there are two sash windows and one single-light window with a moulded stone surround. The datestone in the right gable is likely not original. Although the interior has not been inspected, it is noted to have a staircase and a chimney piece that are reputedly from Holdenby Palace.
