    About this property

    • Formerly the vicarage to the neighbouring church, the house offers generous accommodation with excellent room sizes, a fine staircase and many period features. It is fair to say that the house would now benefit from sympathetic modernisation and refurbishment, yet offers huge potential for a buyer to improve to their own taste, budget and timescale.

      From the glazed entrance porch, the front door opens into the entrance hall, with a cloakroom and WC, and a door to the cellar. The good size drawing room at the rear has a stone fire surround with open grate, and double aspect windows including French doors to the garden. The separate dining room has a painted wood fire surround flanked by twin arched recesses and a tall window to the side with window shutters. The study has a window overlooking the garden. The kitchen/ breakfast room has a range of floor and wall units, a door to the dining room and a walk in larder. The utility room has a wall mounted gas fired boiler, a range of units, plumbing for a washing machine, and a door to outside.

      From the hall, a fine staircase with painted wood balustrading leads up to the spacious first floor landing with linen and storage cupboards. There are four good size bedrooms, and a family bathroom with bath, basin, and shower, and a separate WC.

      Outside
      A five bar gate opens into the shingle driveway which provides extensive parking and gives access to the attached Single Garage with up and over door. The gardens are a particular feature of the house, extending to just under a third of an acre and adjoining the churchyard. They are mostly walled and mainly laid to lawn with a variety of shrubs and trees and a south facing terrace perfect for summer entertaining.

      Agents Note
