Description
The Vicarage with a former coach house, built around 1810, was possibly designed by Richard Carver. It is constructed of rendered chert rubble on the south side, with the chert exposed on the east side. The roof is covered in patterned clay tiles, with overhanging eaves, decorative bargeboards, and two clusters of five chimneys along the central roof ridge. The building has an irregular plan, with a main north-south range and a three-gabled east front. There are two projecting bays on the north front, and the south front faces the churchyard of St Andrew and St Mary’s Church.
The architecture is in the Tudor picturesque style. The south front features a two-and-a-half-storey gabled centre and two-storey outer bays, arranged in a 2:1:1 bay pattern. The left-hand bay is slightly set back. It has 19th-century casement windows with multiple panes, set under hoodmolds with ashlar jambs. There is a single-light window in the gable end, along with 3-light, 2-light, and 3-light windows on the first floor. A square-headed entrance with a ribbed plank door is on the left, and a lean-to greenhouse abuts the left side.
The east front has three bays linked by an L-plan, single-storey loggia with a patterned clay tile roof, connecting to a contemporary two-storey coach house and stable block. The vicarage forms a good group with the Church of St Andrew and St Mary.
