Description
Pattenden and Garden Cottage, located on Water Street, is a former vicarage dating from the early 19th century. The building is constructed of Ham stone ashlar and features a hipped Welsh slate roof along with brick and stone chimney stacks. It has two storeys and a three-bay north elevation, with sash windows in plain openings that have keystones; the upper windows have 16 panes and the lower ones have 6 panes, with no window in the lower bay 2.
The west elevation consists of two bays, featuring a 16-pane sash window in the upper bay 2, while bay 1 is blank. In the lower section, there is a 6-pane sash window in bay 1 and a Regency-style 6-panel door in bay 2, which is set in an open stone porch supported by slim Tuscan-style columns and pilasters. This porch has a plain entablature and a flat roof, flanked by two slim single-light windows with hollow chamfer and recess mould surrounds.
Garden Cottage is a southward extension that is set lower, featuring a 2-light mullioned window. In a former full-height wing wall, there is a later window and a boarded door in a plain recess. To the right of this is a three-centred keystoned arch with double doors, leading to a small two-storey outhouse with a pantiled roof and coped gable. The outhouse has a three-light hollow chamfer mullioned window below and a loft door above. The interior has not been seen. This site appears to have been the location of the vicarage in the 18th century; by 1815, the house was let, but by 1824, the vicar was again residing there, possibly immediately after rebuilding.
