The Old Vicarage is an impressive Arts & Crafts property, providing more than 4,000 square feet of incredibly well-cared for accomodation. The typically elegant and understated style of the house lends itself perfectly to modern life, with excellent flow, generous ceiling heights, and large original sash windows and doors allowing for lots of natural light, views, and connection to the gardens. The charming entrance hall sets one up with wide stairs leading upstairs and a central hallway, off which are the main reception rooms and the kitchen/breakfast room.

The well-proportioned kitchen and breakfast room offers fitted units to base and wall level, a central island with a breakfast bar and a range cooker.
