Accommodation summary

Ground Floor - A generous porch opens into the entrance hall, where newly laid wooden flooring extends through much of the ground floor, warmed by underfloor heating in the hallway and kitchen. Immediately off the hall, a cloakroom/WC provides convenient guest facilities.

To one side, the study is bathed in light from twin sash windows and finished with bespoke cabinetry and a feature fireplace. Across the hall, the drawing room enjoys a dual aspect to the south and east, with direct garden access and fitted storage beneath large windows.

The formal dining room provides a refined setting for gatherings, featuring tall sash windows, a beautiful feature marble fireplace, and a part-glazed door opens onto the south-facing terrace. Practical spaces include a boot room with hanging and shelving, and a utility room reinstated to its original size with Belfast sink, solid wood worktops, traditional checkerboard flooring and bespoke cabinetry.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen/breakfast room by John Lewis of Hungerford combines handle-less units, quartz stone and oak worktops, and Neff integrated appliances. There is space for informal dining, French doors to the terrace and garden, a walk-in pantry, and a sociable breakfast bar.

First Floor - The turning staircase is illuminated by tall windows with stunning views across wildflower meadows.

The principal bedroom suite offers a bright, peaceful retreat with a wood-burning stove, adjacent dressing room, and a spacious ensuite bathroom featuring a freestanding bath, walk-in shower, and underfloor heating.

A dual-aspect guest bedroom has its own bathroom with generous bathtub and rainfall shower. Two further double bedrooms share the family bathroom, fitted with both bath and separate shower. Another double bedroom enjoys a private south-facing balcony overlooking the gardens.

Second Floor - The top floor offers flexible accommodation, including two further double bedrooms with feature fireplaces, both enjoying far-reaching views. A shower room serves this level, and there is access to extensive attic storage.

Outside - Approached via Bakers Lane, a quiet no-through road, The Old Vicarage enjoys a gravel driveway framed by mature hedging. A newly constructed timber car-port with separate storage area, and additional parking areas complement the main building’s handsome façade, where clipped topiary marks the entrance.

The grounds extend to over 1.1 acres, thoughtfully arranged into formal lawns, mature trees, deep herbaceous borders, and informal areas with fruit trees (including a very productive apricot). A sunny south-facing terrace, accessible from both the dining room and kitchen, provides the perfect spot for al fresco meals. The property enjoys a high degree of privacy, with open countryside beyond the boundaries.
