The Old Vicarage is a beautiful period house with substantial rooms and extensive private gardens overlooking open countryside. The property was constructed in circa 1901 by John Oldrid-Scott, son of the famous architect Sir Gilbert Scott. Of note are the impressive drawing room and dining room, together with the large and bright kitchen/breakfast room. There are six bedrooms, including two suites, and two further family bathrooms. The property also benefits from extensive walk-in attic storage. Many of the rooms are dual aspect with views either over the gardens or open countryside. The grounds are in excess of an acre and are divided into formal and informal areas of lawns, deep herbaceous and shrub borders, together with a variety of fruit trees. On the drive adjacent to the house, there is a very useful timber garage block and a machinery store.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on June 25, 2024

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
