Description

Grade II listed Georgian brick and flint house in the heart of the village with large garden and outbuildings.

Description

Situated in the heart of the village, this Grade II listed Georgian brick and flint house offers the potential to create a unique family country home. The Old Vicarage is set in a large garden and dates back to about 1820, thoughtfully extended in about 1890 to provide additional space while preserving its original character. A barn outbuilding offers further possibilities for development or renovation, subject to the usual consents. The property retains many period features but may require some updating internally.

On the ground floor all three of the reception rooms are sunny, light rooms overlooking the garden and all with large sash windows featuring original internal shutters with a vertical rising shutter in the sitting room. The L shaped sitting room is of a good size with a fireplace and open fire. The dining room to the front, with a fireplace and wood burner is flanked by built-in cabinetry while across the hall is a further reception room currently arranged as a library/music room. The kitchen to the rear is well equipped with a range of units and appliances. There is ample room for a breakfast table and French doors on to the garden. Just off the kitchen is a utility room and WC. Completing the accommodation is a wine cellar, accessed from the reception hall.

The bedroom accommodation is on the first floor, accessed via stairs in the reception hall with four bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms. All the bedrooms enjoy lovely views while the principal bedroom benefits from a dual aspect and an en suite shower room.

The Old Vicarage sits within a generous plot, offering peace and seclusion while still being in the heart of the village with its vibrant community. Externally the gardens have been well designed and lovingly developed over several years by the current owner. The house has separate garden areas; a vegetable and fruit kitchen area to the rear with a number of raised vegetable and fruit beds, an ornamental pond with surrounding beds in the corner and a more open, south facing lawned space to the front. The path to the front door passes a beautiful rose garden with a vine covered pergola, enclosed with yew hedging. The garden is well enclosed with hedging, fencing and a charming brick and flint wall. The kitchen garden is well stocked with a variety of vegetables and fruit bushes including blackberries, redcurrants, raspberries and rhubarb to name a few. Included in the garden are a range of specimen trees including oak, holly, cherry, sycamore and unusually, a ginkgo biloba. In addition is a gravelled par terre area and a patio adjoining the rear of the property, perfect for outside dining in the summer months.

An enclosed courtyard to the rear of the property provides ample parking alongside a barn outbuilding offering wonderful potential. The barn is currently divided into three separate spaces, a store area/garage and two workshops but could have a multitude of uses. Just over half an acre in all.
