7 bedroom house

THE PROPERTY The Old Vicarage, formerly The Vicarage, is an attractive, well proportioned, detached property believed to date back to 1874, with flint facing elevations and brick quoins beneath a pitched, tiled, roof. The property requires updating and modernisation throughout and offers scope for further adaptation, subject to acquiring the necessary consents. Arranged over four floors, the house boasts well proportioned and flexible living throughout with three reception rooms on the ground floor, four bedrooms on the first floor and three further bedrooms on the second floor. Particular notable features of the house include high ceilings, open fireplaces, attractive architraves, picture rails and working shutters to many windows. The property further enjoys a lovely aspect from all of the principal reception rooms across its own gardens and neighbouring farmland. 

OUTSIDE Externally, the property is approached through an electric gate along a sweeping drive, with a fork leading off to the Coach House and on up to the front of the house. The property enjoys delightful southerly facing gardens which surround the house, offering various tiered levels of landscaped gardens of interest which include formal lawns, an orchard, enclosed outdoor heated (via solar panels) swimming pool area, various outbuildings, greenhouse, detached brick built 'bothy' / garden store and a detached Coach House (see Agents' Note). In all, the gardens and grounds extend to approximately 1.5 Acres (0.6 Ha).
Agent's Note: In 2011, planning permission was granted (now lapsed) to convert the Coach House into a self-contained annexe. Planning reference: SDNP/20335/001
