Properties such as The Old Vicarage rarely become available, and this characterful family home is without a doubt one of the area's most appealing country residences. Designed by renowned Nottingham architect, Thomas Chambers Hine, and constructed between 1857-8, it is an impressive gothic-style detached Victorian property notable for its character features such as original stained-glass windows, a distinctive belfry, stone staircase, exposed beams and original fireplaces which are balanced out by the appealingly neutral modern décor throughout and convenient touches such as smart home automation for control of lighting, underfloor heating and alarm system as well as CAT5 wiring on all floors. The property is set within mature, secluded grounds of about 6.7 acres in the idyllic village of Dunham, with excellent access to the surrounding countryside. The internal proportions are very generous, with high ceilings and well-appointed rooms making it feel airy and bright throughout and offering a wealth of space for family life and entertaining at home. As well as the house itself, there are extensive grounds that encompass private parking and garaging, lovely gardens and a range of convenient outbuildings.

The ground floor is accessed via a welcoming encaustic tiled entrance hall that leads through to the generously sized family room/snug/kitchen complete with log-burning stove, a separate drawing room, a formal dining room, plant room and Cloakroom with a WC.
