Description

The Old Vicarage is a most attractive Grade II Listed house of timber framed construction with rendered and colour washed elevations under a tiled roof. The original part of the house is believed to date back to the late 15th century. The house has been extended over the years and in more recent years a substantial rear garden room/conservatory has been added off the kitchen and overlooking the gardens, making it a most comfortable and appealing family home. The house is beautifully presented and has a well fitted and light kitchen/breakfast room in the heart of the house with pantry. There is a large and historic drawing room linking to a study and a versatile ground floor sitting room/guest bedroom. Also on the ground floor is an entrance hall, shower room, cloakroom and utility room.

Two staircases lead to the first floor with their respective landings. There are five bedrooms along with a walk in dressing cupboard off the principal bedroom and a bathroom and shower room which have both been refitted in recent years in an impressive style.

The house stands in lovely grounds with delightful views over open countryside. As well as plenty of off-road parking to the front there is a double garage with gym room/home office to the rear. The gardens extend to approximately 0.4 acres and comprise lawns, maturing trees, established flower beds, a terrace abutting the house and large decked area to the rear of the gym room.

Directions
