About this property

Built in 1894 and set within circa 0.9 of an acre of mature grounds, The Old Vicarage is an imposing, period residence offering an exceptional opportunity to restore and reimagine a substantial family home of considerable character.

Offered with vacant possession, the property presents a true blank canvas for those seeking to create something entirely unique and special.

Extending to approximately 3,770 sq. ft. including the large integral garage, the house offers generously proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors. The layout provides excellent flexibility, with a number of elegant principal reception rooms complemented by spacious bedrooms, all benefiting from large windows and attractive outlooks across the surrounding grounds. The entrance hall is of particular note with gorgeous double doors giving way to the vast entrance lobby. The ground floor includes a grand sitting room, formal dining room, study and a kitchen, which along with utility and pantry rooms, offers clear potential for redesign into a contemporary kitchen‑family space, subject to consent. The first floor provides a selection of generous bedrooms, many of which are notably large and enjoy views across the gardens and grounds. The scale of the accommodation offers scope for reconfiguration, including the creation of luxurious principal suites or additional bathrooms, depending on individual requirements.
