Description
An exceptional Victorian former vicarage dating back to 1869, offered with no upward chain, beautifully restored and reimagined for modern family living, set within approximately 1.5 acres of landscaped gardens and grounds. Combining remarkable period integrity with refined contemporary comforts, The Old Vicarage offers the timeless elegance of a classic English country house while remaining exceptionally well connected to Cambridge, London and the surrounding countryside
Approached via a sweeping gravel driveway with parking for several vehicles, the house immediately impresses with its handsome façade, restored chimney stacks and striking architectural presence. Lovingly restored by the current owners, every detail has been carefully considered to preserve the property’s heritage, from the original ridge tiles and timber shutters through to the Bakelite light switches and cast-iron radiators.

The original porch retains its historic tiled flooring and opens into a magnificent reception hall with original tiled floors, excellent storage and a grand central staircase, together with a secondary staircase once serving the original servants’ quarters, reflecting the home’s rich Victorian history.
The elegant reception rooms are wonderfully proportioned and filled with natural light. The sitting room features original flooring, sash windows, working shutters and French doors opening onto the terrace and gardens, alongside a dual-fuel woodburner creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The drawing room is equally impressive, with original floors and shutters, a feature fireplace, dual-fuel woodburner and further French doors opening directly onto the terrace, ideal for both formal entertaining and relaxed family living.
The dining room, formerly the vicar’s study, retains original skirting boards and shutters and benefits from bespoke built-in dresser and sideboard cabinetry, creating a refined entertaining space rich in character and history.
At the heart of the home lies a beautifully appointed country kitchen, accessed via steps descending from the charming morning room. The morning room itself enjoys built-in bureau cabinetry and doors opening directly onto the gardens, perfectly positioned to capture the morning light. The bespoke kitchen combines timeless design with practical functionality and includes a range cooker, integral fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine, corner larder cupboard, USB-integrated plug sockets and a stable door leading onto the courtyard garden.
A guest cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
The first and second floors provide highly versatile accommodation comprising six/seven bedrooms. Five generously proportioned double bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes and luxurious en suite facilities, while four bedrooms retain beautiful feature fireplaces.
A further single bedroom offers flexibility for younger family members or guests, and bedroom seven is currently arranged as a home office/study.
The principal family bathroom has been thoughtfully designed in a contemporary Victorian style with double sinks and the original water warmer retained as a striking heritage feature.
Throughout the property, the quality of restoration is exceptional. The original floors, shutters and internal doors have been painstakingly restored, while major improvements including replacement chimney stacks, updated plumbing and electrics, and installation of a water softener ensure the house functions effortlessly for modern living.
Outside, the grounds are a particular highlight. Extending to approximately 1.5 acres, the landscaped gardens have been carefully designed to create a series of distinct outdoor spaces including entertaining terraces, mature planting, wild garden areas, vegetable gardens and beautifully stocked borders. A charming summer house enjoys delightful views back towards the vicarage and grounds.
An extensive outbuilding, already connected with water, electricity and WiFi, offers excellent potential for conversion into a separate two-bedroom dwelling, subject to the necessary planning permissions, presenting exciting possibilities for multigenerational living, guest accommodation or ancillary income.
The setting is equally compelling. Situated within a peaceful rural community close to the Little Ouse river, the property offers a rare balance of countryside tranquillity and accessibility. Littleport railway station is approximately seven minutes away, providing straightforward connections into Cambridge and London, while nearby Cambridge offers world-class cultural, academic and professional opportunities.
The property is also well placed for many of Cambridge’s and Ely’s leading independent schools, including The Perse School, Stephen Perse Foundation, King’s Ely and The Leys School.
Rich in history, character and atmosphere,
The Old Vicarage is an extraordinary country home that combines timeless Victorian elegance with the comfort and convenience demanded by contemporary family life.
