Building record 1523400000 - 16 Vicarage Lane

19th century building. May possibly have been a weaver’s cottage. Three storeys which is relatively unusual in Ivinghoe. Ground floor rendered, first and second floor red brick. Shallow pitched gabled roof laid in slate. Irregular window patterns on all floors. All windows are modern replacements. Modern entrance porch to south-eastern elevation. This is a visually striking building being three storeys in an area of the village characterised by predominantly two storey buildings. The building is also set hard up to the edge of a narrow road which rises in a gentle gradient. The building therefore is visually dominant within the streetscene. Despite alterations, the building maintains its original form, massing and outline and makes a positive visual contribution to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area. The building forms part of a group of 19th century buildings constructed throughout Ivinghoe at a time of significant development and change within the village. A local note building within the conservation area of Ivinghoe (B1).
