Thwaites Old Vicarage, The Green LA18 5HZ

Set in an idyllic countryside position with far-reaching views towards Black Combe and White Combe, this substantial 17th century former vicarage offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a character-filled home with extensive additional accommodation and enormous potential.

Rich in original period features, the main residence seamlessly combines historic charm with practical family living. The property offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, with a fourth room currently utilised as a home office, ideal for modern flexible living. Character features include original style UPVC sash windows, a striking slate floor to the entrance hall, and a beautiful feature stone wall in the living room, complemented by a charming wood-burning stove which creates a warm and inviting focal point. The traditional Aga in the kitchen further enhances the property's timeless appeal and provides a welcoming heart to the home.

The accommodation is further enhanced by oil-fired central heating, an electric oven, and a stylishly updated bathroom installed in 2018.

Externally, the property sits within generous mature gardens, enjoying a peaceful rural setting and spectacular open views across the surrounding countryside towards Black Combe and White Combe.

A particularly rare feature of this property is the inclusion of a separate three-bedroom annexe, offering excellent potential for multigenerational living, guest accommodation, holiday letting, or income generation. The annexe comprises a spacious kitchen diner, lounge with feature stone wall, three bedrooms including two doubles and one single and main bathroom. The annexe also benefits from an enclosed good-sized garden and a separate private entrance to the side of the main property with off road parking, providing both flexibility and independence.

In addition, the sale includes a detached three-bedroom cottage, separate from both the main residence and annexe. Formerly the stables and old coach house, the cottage comprises a dining room, lounge, kitchen, and bathroom and now requires renovation, presenting an exciting development opportunity subject to the necessary consents. The cottage also benefits from a garden area, an attached barn with mezzanine floor, and a further outbuilding, offering excellent scope for a variety of uses.

This is a truly unique country property offering history, versatility, and significant potential in a stunning rural setting.
