II

Former vicarage. 1887 by JD Sedding. Plymouth limestone
brought to course and rendered to upper floor; steep dry slate
gabled roofs and tall brick stacks with 2 drip courses:
central axial stack and a lateral stack. Arts and Crafts
style.
PLAN: irregular corner site plan with various projections
designed to give interest from any viewpoint.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, plus attic over basement to main part;
very irregular disposition of openings. Windows include many
small single lights and there are both stone and wooden
mullioned windows with 2 lights and multiple lights. There is
a gabled projection facing south with an arch-braced shape to
the gable partly framing a 5-light window above a
5-light-plus-sidelights oriel window carried on 3 shaped
brackets. To ground-floor left of this elevation is a 2-light
window with original patterned glazing. At far left, clasping
the corner is what appears to be a stair projection with 2
small windows. Basement has openings with segmental or basket
arches. West side has large gable with wide mullioned window.
Below is a hipped roof supported on 2 half-hexagonal
projections with balcony between them. Ground floor has
doorway set into left-hand projection and is approached by
steps with iron railings. The other elevations are similarly
inventive and irregular incorporating various ideas inspired
by domestic Gothic architecture.
INTERIOR: has wide staircase with turned balusters and there
are eared architraves to the doorcases.
This building is an important example of small domestic
architecture by Sedding.
