This detached house at number 7 Sutton Road was formerly a vicarage, built in the early 19th century. Constructed of rendered rubble stone under a slate roof. The rear wall was rebuilt, after separation from number 9, St Andrew's Cottage, formerly attached to the Vicarage as a service wing. At one time used as a nursery. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1148071 Preston is a coastal village, a suburb of Weymouth in Dorset, some 3 miles northeast of Weymouth town centre. The village has a long history of settlement, with the remains of a Roman temple and a Stone Age hill fort, Chalbury Camp. Preston has strong links with the Wesley family, the founders of Methodism. South of the village, towards the shore, are a number of highly unattractive holiday parks.
