6 bedroom detached house for sale

Built in 1864, this substantial former vicarage bears all the typical hallmarks of Victorian architecture and sits within a mature plot of more than 1 acre, which includes a self-contained two-storey cottage and with 4 acres of grazing land adjoining to the south.

Constructed of attractive brick elevations beneath a steeply pitched slate roof, the main house offers ideal family accommodation on a grand scale. The overall accommodation totals almost 3,200sq.ft with all rooms being well-proportioned, and flooded with natural light. Over the last 10 years or so, the property has been tastefully modernised and updated to create an extremely appealing home with numerous original features.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and briefly comprises: porch, spacious entrance hall with double-sided stove and an elegant return staircase, sitting room, living room, dining room, garden room, guest cloakroom, dining kitchen, utility room, office and a ground floor guest bedroom suite. Upstairs there are four further double bedrooms, two of which have en-suite shower rooms, a house bathroom and additional cloakroom. There is uPvc double-glazing throughout, most of which are sash, and central heating is provided by a wood pellet boiler.

Adjacent to The Old Vicarage is a separate detached cottage, converted some years ago from the original coach house. This has been successfully run as a lucrative holiday let with annual turnover of around £13k and will no doubt hold appeal to those looking to derive an income stream from their home. There are no planning restrictions limiting its use to letting, and as such the property could be permanently occupied by relatives, or indeed sold off. It is worth noting that planning consent has recently been obtained to extend the property, with an 8m x 3m kitchen extension to the rear, and an en-suite bedroom to one side. Currently its accommodation amounts to 625sq.ft, and the property enjoys a pleasant outlook across the garden. It benefits from uPvc double-glazing throughout, and LPG central heating. In brief it comprises porch, open-plan dining/kitchen/living space with stairs up to a first-floor landing, double bedroom and shower room.

The whole property stands in superb gardens of more than 1 acre, featuring swathes of well manicured lawn, shrub borders, a pond, flagged terraces and mature hardwoods. There is ample room to park on the gravelled carriage driveway, which cuts through the front garden and leads past the front of the house. Of particular benefit is a four-acre grass paddock, which adjoins the garden to the south, making it an ideal proposition for anyone with equestrian or smallholding interests, and has independent access onto the main village street.
