A fine Grade II listed detached period house with elegant accommodation and plenty of character features, set in enchanting gardens in the heart of the Lincolnshire Wolds village of Tealby.

Description

The Old Vicarage is a charming detached period house with a wealth of character features, set in a picturesque position in the heart of the small village of Tealby and backing on to the open rolling countryside of the Lincolnshire Wolds. The property has splendid stone elevations outside, while inside there are original fireplaces, exposed brickwork and several other period details, as well as elegant modern styling and fittings.

The ground floor has three reception rooms of similar proportions, all of which benefit from south-facing aspects overlooking the sunny gardens. The sitting room features painted wooden floorboards and a handsome brick-built fireplace, fitted with a log burner, while the reception has stripped wooden floorboards and a cast-iron open fireplace. There is also a formal dining room with a triple aspect and a fireplace, fitted with a log burner. Towards the rear, the kitchen has terracotta tiled flooring, modern fitted units and integrated appliances, as well as an Aga, while the utility and boiler rooms provide further space for home storage and appliances.

Upstairs there are five well-presented double bedrooms, four of which are set along the south-facing aspect of the house, with those views across the beautiful gardens. The first floor also has two family bathrooms, one of which has a roll-top bathtub, a walk-in shower and a separate WC, while the other has an over-bath shower and a splendid exposed stone feature wall.

The entrance to the property is found on Papermill Lane, where the gravel driveway leads up to the house and provides ample parking at the side. The driveway also leads to the detached outbuilding, which offers useful additional accommodation across two levels, including two offices, a store, a cloakroom and a kitchenette. The outbuilding could be converted into an annexe if required, providing accommodation for family members or guests (subject to obtaining necessary consents). The gardens are mostly south and east-facing and include well-maintained lawns, well-stocked beds with various flowering perennials and established shrubs, and a wealth of mature trees and border hedgerows. There is also a summer house providing views across the gardens and the rolling fields beyond.
