Description
No. 5 Vicarage Hill is a house located in Badby, dating from the late 17th century with earlier origins and a datestone from 1736. It is constructed with cruck framing and coursed ironstone rubble, topped with a thatch roof featuring brick end and ridge stacks, with the left end stack set on a stone base. The house has a 3-unit through passage plan and is two stories high with a three-window range. The front features a 20th-century door with a straight hood positioned to the right of center. On the ground floor, there are 20th-century two-light casement windows with stop-chamfered lintels, and a small square window on the far left. The first floor has 20th-century three-light windows set in eyebrow dormers. At the rear left, there is a wing with a datestone inscribed "IP 1736". Inside, the house includes stop-chamfered spine beams, two open fireplaces—one with a chamfered bressumer and the other with a cambered ogee-stop-chamfered bressumer—and a full cruck truss that shows signs of possible smoke blackening, indicating the presence of an open hall.
