Description

Summary

Most Attractive Former Vicarage and Separate Two Bed Coach House. Stable Block & Approx. 2.78 Acres of Paddocks & Gardens. Edge of Well Served Village. EPC E

Property Location

The Old Vicarage & Coach House stands on its own on the rural outskirts of the well served village of Gorsley, some 6 miles north east of the market and tourist town of Ross-on-Wye. Newent lies some 2 miles to the north east, whilst Gloucester and Cheltenham are both within approx. 25 mins drive.
Despite the rural feel of the property, one is within literally a few minutes drive of the M50 
motorway, giving direct access to both the M5 and A40/M4 links. 
The house itself occupies a wonderful, elevated location and commands views across its own gardens and paddock to the rolling rural countryside beyond. 

The Old Vicarage

Built in 1876, at approx. the same time as the small adjacent rural Christ Church, the Old Vicarage is constructed of Gorsley Stone, which was locally quarried during the Victorian era, with attractive red brick detailing, under a pitched tiled roof. Adjacent is the former Coach House of similar construction, which has subsequently been converted into an exceptionally well presented two bedroom home.
The main residence provides wonderfully generous accommodation. Accessed via the fine enclosed porch, the original door complete with substantial lock and key, leads into the generous entrance hall with original tiled flooring. The sitting room has an attractive fireplace with open fire, whilst the well proportioned dining room retains its original wooden parquet floor. To the rear of the house is the well appointed kitchen, together with a further most useful reception room which has windows overlooking the gardens to the rear. This is currently used as a study and hobbies room.
To the first floor are four bedrooms, two with feature fireplaces, a family bathroom and separate shower room. 
To the north of the house are a most attractive range of outhouses with original brick floors, currently used as store rooms.

Coach House

Standing to the east of the main residence is the former Coach House. This has been converted to create an exceptionally well presented separate dwelling. An Oak framed porch opens into the 15' well appointed kitchen/breakfast room with integrated appliances and painted brick feature wall, complete with original metal steps which gave access to the hay loft above! Adjacent is the sitting room with double doors which open to the private rear courtyard garden, and wooden stairs which lead to the first floor and two bedrooms, the main bedroom with en-suite bathroom, together with a family shower room.

Outbuildings

To the rear of the Old Vicarage are four wonderful brick built outbuildings, complete with period brick flooring. They currently comprise a coal store, wood store, and two further store rooms, one used as a potting shed/garden store.
Adjacent to the Coach House is a double garage of block construction, with up and over door, which has the benefit of power and lighting.

Stable Block

To the north east of the house is the stable yard. Accessed via a wooden gate is the L shaped stable block comprising two stables approx. dimensions 15' x 12' with a separate tack room. At the far end is a hay barn approx. dimensions 24' x 12' which has been used for storage, but could also be used as a further stable if required. Infront of the stable block is a hard standing yard, all enclosed by wooden post and rail fencing.

Paddock

Accessed either directly from the stable yard via a gate, or directly from the adjacent road is the approx. 2 acre gently sloping paddock, clearly defined by hedge and fenced boundaries. Planted within the paddock is a mature Willow and several Silver Birch trees.

Gardens & Grounds

Double gates open onto the driveway, which passes in front of the main residence, leading to a large tarmac manoeuvring/parking area to the side of the house. The gardens extend to all sides, and comprise level lawns interspersed with a variety of mature trees and shrubs including Magnolia, Laurel, Forsythia and Silver Birch as well as a large number of spring bulbs. There is also a small wildlife pond.
Adjacent the garage is a fenced vegetable garden with an aluminium greenhouse, ideal for growing your own produce. To the east of the house is an area of orchard with a variety of mature fruit trees including eating apples, Bramley cooking apples, Plum and Pear, together with a bed of soft fruit bushes including Currants and Gooseberries.
To the rear of the Coach House is an enclosed courtyard garden with a most attractive block paved sun terrace, edged by well stocked herbaceous borders with varieties including Lavender, Geranium and Euphorbia.
