The Old Vicarage is a delightful Grade II Listed Victorian house that offers four bedrooms and a self-contained two-bedroom cottage at the rear, with a wealth of original character including high ceilings, tall windows and original fireplaces. While the accommodation could benefit from some modernisation, the rooms are well-proportioned and welcome plenty of natural light throughout.

There are three comfortable reception rooms in the main house, including the dual aspect drawing room, which has a fireplace and French doors opening onto the south-facing garden. There is also a formal dining room and a family room, which also offers south-facing French doors. The kitchen has wooden units to base and wall level, as well as space for the necessary appliances, with the adjoining breakfast area providing space for informal dining. Upstairs, the main house has four double bedrooms, two of which benefit from built-in storage. There is also a large family bathroom with an over-bath shower, a second bathroom and a shower room.

The cottage is accessed at the rear and connects to the main house via internal doors on the ground floor and first floor. It features a sitting room, a well-equipped kitchen with a walk-in larder and upstairs, two double bedrooms and a bathroom with a separate shower unit. The cottage is currently rented to tenants and offers the potential for a regular income.
