The Property
The Old Vicarage is approached via a set of iron gates and stands next to the Saxon ‘All Saints Church’. Its elevated situation is particularly attractive with views towards the church and the private gardens.

The house dates from the early 19th century and is Listed Grade II. It is constructed of stone elevations under a slate roof, is arranged over three storeys and offers well-proportioned accommodation, displaying period features throughout. During the current owner’s tenure, the property has undergone extensive renovation and upgrades throughout whilst retaining many original features such as deep skirting boards, high ceilings and tall sash windows indicative of its era.

Entered via a timber door and a glazed inner doorway, the welcoming entrance hall features a central staircase and quarry tiled flooring, with various doors radiating to the reception rooms and to the rear hallway. In keeping with its original parts, and thoughtfully designed, the kitchen is fitted with an open fire with marble surround and additionally a woodburning stove set to one end. The kitchen enjoys bespoke shaker style units with a large central island with stone worktop being a focal point and includes a fitted range. Timber flooring flows through the room with plenty of space allowing for flexible dining and living options with a set of French doors opening onto the garden terrace. The kitchen is framed by stunning sash windows to two elevations which allow much natural light. The reception rooms are well proportioned yet functional, most with large sash windows and exposed timbers; the sitting room, with its open fireplace, creates an intimate space for entertaining with views over the front elevation. From here a doorway leads to a cosy, formal dining room. An inner rear hallway leads to the garden with a secondary set of stairs leading to the first floor and glazed door offering access to the garden. The inner hallway offers access to various additional rooms ideal for family living to include a family room/ playroom, a study with beautiful garden views, a well-appointed laundry room, guest cloakroom, and useful boot room with fitted storage which also provides garden access.

The bedrooms are set over the first floors, all very well-proportioned and each with individual views. The superb master suite enjoys wonderful garden views and a well-appointed ensuite bathroom room comprising a freestanding bath, walk in shower, twin wash hand basins and underfloor heating. Adjacent is a dressing room (formerly the fifth bedroom), fitted with wardrobes. Furthermore, to the first floor are three further double bedrooms, one with ensuite, and one with a connecting dressing/ study room. There are two well-appointed, large family bathrooms serving the additional bedrooms.

To the second floor are presently two attic rooms, which, with conversion, could offer further additional living/ bedroom space. A wonderful arched window to one of the rooms showcases far-reaching, elevated views towards rolling fields and beyond.

Outside
The Old Vicarage is approached from the quiet village lane via a sweeping horseshoe gravelled driveway, enclosed by mature high hedging and various established trees. The wonderful gardens and grounds are principally to the south of the house with a formal lawn flanked by beautifully planted mature shrub borders. An attractive stone wall separates the main garden from ‘Brew House’ and ‘Coach House’ which are two former barns with planning permission granted to convert to two-storey holiday lets. Both barns can be independently accessed via the rear gates and offer a fabulous opportunity to create additional accommodation either for let or multi-generational family use. The gardens and grounds in all total approximately 0.68 acres.
