Upon entering The Old Vicarage through its imposing wooden front door, you are welcomed into a magnificent entrance hall, where original wooden floorboards and a charming feature fireplace immediately set the tone for the period elegance that flows throughout the home. High ceilings and generously proportioned rooms are evident from the outset, creating an immediate sense of space, grandeur, and light.

To the left, a door leads into the impressive formal living room, a room of remarkable scale and character. It boasts dual floor-to-ceiling windows offering views and access to the surrounding grounds, flooding the space with natural light. A striking open wood-burning fireplace provides a warm focal point, while original wooden flooring continues the theme of timeless elegance.

From the main hallway, an elegant archway leads to an inner hall, granting access to the grand dining room, perfectly suited for entertaining on a large scale. This room benefits from two substantial windows and ample space for a table fitting of a home of this stature.

Adjoining the dining room is a further reception room/snug, offering a cosy retreat ideal for more intimate gatherings or relaxed evenings. Nearby, a second sitting room features a charming wood-burning stove, as well as access to one of the property’s two staircases and direct entry to the exceptional kitchen-diner.

This magnificent kitchen and dining area is the heart of the home. It features an impressive character fireplace with wood-burning stove, an attractive tiled floor, and several windows overlooking the rear gardens. A substantial central island, an array of handcrafted wooden wall and base units, and a grand Lacanche-style range cooker with extractor provide both beauty and function. There is ample space for a large American-style fridge-freezer, and an open archway leads seamlessly to a well-appointed utility room, offering additional workspace and plumbing for appliances. A door from here opens into a practical tiled boot room—ideal for countryside living.

First & Second Floors

A stunning wooden staircase rises to a split-level landing, where accommodation branches off in both directions, allowing for flexible living arrangements and potential for multigenerational use.

To the left, a private corridor leads to several well-proportioned rooms, including a large family bathroom with a Jacuzzi-style bath, vanity unit with storage, low flush WC, and additional built-in cabinetry. Further along is a double bedroom with an ensuite shower room, as well as another generous double room with a charming feature fireplace. This wing of the home could easily be adapted into a private guest suite or annexe if desired.

To the right of the landing lies a collection of impressive bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed and rich in period detail. Highlights include:

A spacious double bedroom with dual aspect windows and an ensuite featuring a bath with shower over and built-in storage.

A further double bedroom with delightful proportions.

Another grand bedroom enjoying dual aspect views, built-in storage, and a beautifully appointed ensuite bathroom, complete with pedestal sink, roll-top bath, low-level WC, and heated towel rail.

The principal bedroom suite is a showpiece in itself—boasting exceptional space, dual aspect windows, a feature period fireplace, and a recessed area perfect for additional seating or dressing. The adjoining luxury ensuite shower room offers both style and convenience.

Second Floor & Attic

A further staircase leads to the second floor, where a large and versatile room currently serves as a sitting room/study, though it could equally function as an additional bedroom. This space includes built-in storage, yet another feature fireplace, and access via a small staircase to a vast attic area—ideal for conversion, or simply excellent storage. The attic also benefits from a small cloakroom with WC and basin, adding even further practicality.
