The Old Vicarage

The Old Vicarage is an especially attractive former Vicarage, which enjoys a classic position adjacent to Salton's Norman Church, within a lovely plot of approximately 1.6 acres. The principal portion of the house is Georgian and constructed of mellow limestone beneath a welsh slate roof. The front faces almost due south, taking in views across its beautiful gardens and the countryside beyond, towards the Howardian Hills. It is believed that when it was first built, the roof was thatched, and remained so until the late Victorian period. Indeed, there are records of a vicarage on the site since 1312.



Since purchasing the property, the current owners have taken great care to sensitively improve it, mindful of retaining its inherent charm and character. The 'West Wing' has been cleverly reconfigured to create a delightful self-contained annexe, known as The Verger's Lodgings, and which has operated as a successful holiday let. Connecting doors at both ground and first floor level allow it to be incorporated within the main house as required, but it is easy to see how this arrangement will be an ideal solution for anyone looking for a multigenerational home.



The property is approached via a long driveway, affording an excellent level of privacy and the Grade I Listed Church of St. John of Beverley provides a stunning backdrop. The gardens are a true delight, having been expertly landscaped over many years and in addition to swathes of lawn, well-stocked borders and York stone flagged terrace, the site is studded with a wide variety of mature trees, including a superb copper beech. The overall site area amounts to approximately 1.6 acres, of which around half is given over to a useful pony paddock with two loose boxes. A courtyard to the rear of The Verger's Lodgings features a useful range of original outhouses and stores.



Located within the Vale of Pickering, Salton is an extremely pretty village, which to a large extent is set around a picturesque village green. Despite its peaceful and tranquil setting, it is within easy reach of the nearby Georgian market towns of Kirkbymoorside and Helmsley (6 and 8 miles respectively), where there are an excellent range of amenities. The market market town of Malton is around 9 miles south-east, and benefits from a train station with regular services to the mainline station of York, from where London can be reached in less than two hours. Salton falls within catchment area of the well-regarded Ryedale School.
