Description
Buckland House is a vicarage, now a dwelling, built around 1832 in a Tudor style. The building features buff bricks laid in English bond with Ham stone dressings, scalloped clay tiles, and coped verges. It has brick stacks grouped in threes and fours. The plan consists of a parallel range with the entrance front facing northeast and the principal rooms located on the southeast front, while services are to the northwest, including a parish room in the north corner.
The entrance front is two storeys high with two bays, showcasing mullioned and transomed windows with many-paned casements. There is a projecting gable on the right with a plaque above a two-light window under a hoodmould, and left gablets above two-light windows. The ground floor on the left features a bay window porch set at an angle, with a two-light window to the right and a moulded Tudor arch head to the gabled porch. The returns have two single light windows and a hall-glazed inner door. Attached to the right is a single-storey parish room or billiard room made of random rubble chert, with a renewed parapet and full-height bows that include narrow single light windows in the outer bays and a central canted bay window.
The garden front has a layout of one bay, two bays, one bay, and one bay, with projecting gables on the first bay to the left and the second bay to the right. The ground floor features arch-headed windows with divided tracery, with one window serving as a door, while the other ground floor windows have plate glass.
The interior, which was partially seen, includes a 20th-century chimneypiece in a panelled library to the right of the entrance hall, a boarded ceiling, and painted mottos with turned balusters leading to the stair. The vicarage was noted as "newly erected" in 1832 by the incumbent, the Rev E J Lance, who also built St Mary Church to the southwest.
