Vicarage House is one of only a handful of properties in the village of Overton, ever popular for its easy access into York. The oldest part of the house dates from the 1780s, with characterful reception rooms retained and enhanced with a stylish makeover. In recent years an adjoining barn has been developed to create a fabulous contemporary kitchen and orangery-style dining area taking full advantage of the garden views with French Doors opening to the south and sliding doors to the west, both leading to respective patios. The former 'piggery', has also been converted more recently into a flexible study come sixth bedroom, complete with en suite facilities and useful boot room.

Arranged over the first and second floors, all five bedrooms are all of a good-sized and offer lovely views of the surrounding countryside, with the master served by a dressing area and recently refurbished en suite bathroom. The second floor bedrooms showcase exposed beam vaulted ceilings and enjoy wonderful views over the rear garden and beyond.

The south-west facing gardens total approximately half an acre and are well-maintained with an expanse of lawn, mature trees and colorful beds, bound by high hedging beyond which open countryside extends to the banks of the River Ouse. There is also a grass tennis-court area and spacious graveled driveway which leads to a parking area for several cars.
