22, Vicarage Road

No.22, Vicarage Road is a cottage, likely dating from the 16th century. It is constructed with painted render over a cob or rubble stone base, and has a thatched roof with brick stacks at the left gable end, to the rear, and on the party wall to the right. The original design was a three-room through-passage plan, with a rear lateral stack serving the central hall. A single-storey thatched wing was added in the 19th and 20th centuries to the left. The cottage is two storeys high with a three-window front. Four-light mullioned windows, having leaded lights, are positioned in the first floor, breaking through the eaves line. A 19th-century door is centrally placed, flanked on the left by a two-light and a four-light casement window, and to the right by an early 19th-century, shallow-splayed shop window with a thatched roof.

Inside, the left-hand ground floor room has stop-chamfered spine beams and an open fire with a rear lateral stack. The right-hand gable end room also features a stop-chamfered spine beam and an open fire, with a spiral stair to the left. The roof space has not been inspected, but trenched purlins are visible on the first floor.
