The Vicarage is an attractive 19th Century family house on the edge of the Cotswolds hamlet of Edgehill. Hornton stone construction under a pitched grey slate covered roof. Various period features include open fireplaces, mullion windows, flagstones, deep skirting boards, simple cornicing, exposed painted floor boards and picture rails.

The house has been substantially improved, modernised and re-decorated. As a result this is really lovely modern living amongst its age and charm. Its Victorian architecture brings well-proportioned rooms with generous ceiling heights, where natural light pervades throughout.

The current owners have given considerable thought to extending this lovely house to create an open plan kitchen and dining area, thereby complementing the ground floor accommodation and giving the next owner the much sought after modern hub of the house. Architect plans have been drawn up and are available on request. Planning permission and building regulation approval will be required to fulfil these plans.

Detached stone built former Coach House with a single garage, two stall stable and a large loft above, with potential to convert to office/granny flat (subject to the relevant consents). Architect plans for this are also available.

Surrounded by an attractive stone wall, the property is private with electric gates and “in and out” driveway leading from the road, to a gravel parking and turning area.

The walled gardens are level and predominately laid to lawn, with a variety of mature trees and fruit trees, all providing considerable space and privacy. Paved entertaining area. Beyond the main curtilage is an area of woodland. This all makes for the perfect home to bring up a family or a second home for families looking to escape from London.

In all about 1.47 acres.

In essence this is all about the edge of hamlet living; access to schools and communication links; space and privacy; quality living; a destination to escape urban life or the office; a home for a family; big skies and dark nights. It is a rare special gem.
