Preston Day Nursery
(Formerly Listed as:
SUTTON ROAD, Preston
No.7
(Vicarage) and St Giles Cottage)

GV II

Detached house, formerly vicarage. Early C19. Smooth rendered,
slate roof, brick stack. A large square block with low-pitched
hipped roof and deep eaves; the internal layout may have been
modified, but has a central hall, entered from the S, with
principal staircase rising to the right.
2 storeys, 3 windows; 12-pane sashes, widely spaced, in plain
reveals and on stone sills. The central panelled door is
covered by a C20 glazed porch with tent hood. The return front
(W) is similar, in 3 bays, with central pair of French doors,
and the remains of a former glazed canopy, and the E side is
in 4 bays. The back wall has been rebuilt, following
separation from the former service wing. The large stack, with
a reeded edge to the capping, is offset on the ridge towards
the left.
INTERIOR: part of the ground floor only was inspected. There
are good 6-panel original doors, window shutters, and moulded
cornices. The lateral stair with quarter-landings may be a
replacement.
To the rear, No.9, St Andrew's Cottage (qv), was formerly
attached to the Vicarage as a service wing, and known as St
Giles' Cottage.
