    About this property

    • The Old Vicarage, Lower Road is an impressive Grade II listed attached former Vicarage, dating in part from the early 18th century with later Victorian and Georgian additions and retains many original features including fireplaces, original servant bells, flagstone flooring, window shutters and iron balconies to the first floor.

      The Old Vicarage stands in a prominent sought after location in River which is a delightful village situated between the historic town of Dover and the neighbouring village of Temple Ewell.

      This charming historic property with immense potential is now in need of a full restoration and currently offers generously proportioned internal accommodation arranged over three floors, including five reception rooms, eight bedrooms, a kitchen/breakfast room and a gardener's room, amounting to almost 5,000 sq ft.

      The delightful walled rear garden is beautifully landscaped and off road parking is provided to the side together with a double garage accessed from the front.

      The pretty village of River is situated in a valley through which the River Dour flows. The property is located in a conservation area and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with close proximity to the picturesque parks of Kearsney Abbey and Russell Gardens. River has a convenience store, independent greengrocers, pharmacy, primary school and a couple of public houses including the Royal Oak. More extensive shopping can be found in Dover (1.9 miles) and the historic city of Canterbury (16 miles) where there are various supermarkets, independent shops, cafes, restaurants, sporting facilities and sightseeing.

      The popular coastal towns of Folkestone (9.1 miles), Deal (10.5 miles) and Sandwich (11 miles) together with their sandy and pebble beaches have much to offer, including a good selection of cafes and restaurants, attractions and beautiful coastal walks.
