Description
Hen Vicarage is a long, two-section house constructed of whitened rubble, partly rendered, and topped with slate roofs. The main northwest section features a low rubble plinth and a large end chimney, which now appears as a central stack. The primary entrance is located near the center on the northeast side, characterized by cyclopean sides and a Tudor-arched lintel, with a modern boarded door. To the left of the entrance is a 17th-century pegged wooden window with three lights and a transom, which has modern plain glazing but retains the original iron ferementa for the lower lights. To the right of the entrance is a modern window with a part-tilting casement. The upper floor has two large 20th-century windows that break the eaves and are set within shallow catslide dormers, featuring modern four-pane casement sections. Additionally, there is a modern small-pane wooden window on the ground floor of the northwest gable.
The southeast section includes a small modern single-storey gabled extension on its northeast side, adjacent to the primary block. Above this extension is a catslide dormer with a 17th-century pegged wooden cross-window, which has modern glazing. To the left of this dormer is a three-part small-pane modern window, with a steel-framed 20th-century window above it. The southwest side has a large projecting lateral chimney on the right, belonging to the later section, with a kneelered gable and a slab-coped left slope; the stack has lost its capping. To the left of this chimney are two early 19th-century 12-pane sliding sash windows, one on each floor, both with cambered brick heads. There is an entrance nearby with a similar head and a 19th-century pegged frame, leading to a 20th-century oak panelled door. To the left of the entrance is a large 20th-century multi-pane window with a concrete lintel on the ground floor, and a four-pane sash window from the late 19th or early 20th century above it; a two-pane modern window is located far left. The southeast gable end features modern French doors flanked by six-pane windows on the ground floor and a large steel-framed picture window on the first floor.
The interior was not inspected during the survey but is known to have been extensively modernised.
