Step into a rare opportunity to own a truly remarkable Victorian Vicarage – a substantial and characterful home of nearly 3,500 sq. Ft., recently restored to an impeccable standard. Every inch of this magnificent residence has been carefully and sympathetically renovated, preserving its rich history while reinstating original features with meticulous detail. Walls have been finished with lime plaster, floorboards retained and restored, sash windows overhauled, and fireplaces lovingly reinstated. Even the finishing touches, from Bakelite switches to the original doorbell mechanism, celebrate the home’s heritage. Where original fixtures were absent, exact replicas were commissioned to ensure authenticity. The result is a home that captures the essence of its Victorian past while delivering the comfort and quality of modern living. Graceful archways, tall ceilings, polished floorboards, and original tiled floors lead you through three formal reception rooms, a breakfast room, and a striking 22ft kitchen – beautifully designed for both family life and entertaining. Upstairs, seven generously proportioned bedrooms include three with contemporary en-suites, while the principal bathroom features a charming slipper bath overlooking the gardens. Beyond the main house lies “Orchard Cottage” – a two-storey former stable block of around 1,000 sq. Ft., partially renovated and brimming with potential as a guest annexe, studio, or holiday let (subject to planning). Set within 1.5 acres of mature gardens, complete with patios to follow the sun, formal lawns, and sweeping countryside views, this property offers both elegance and tranquillity in equal measure. This is more than just a house – it is a carefully safeguarded piece of history, reimagined as a welcoming and exceptional home. Viewing is essential to truly appreciate the craftsmanship, scale, and lifestyle this unique property offers.
Accommodation -
Magnificent, original front entrance door opening to:-
Reception Lobby
From here the original Victorian tiled flooring begins that continues throughout the hallway. The wide, part glazed doors separate the lobby, opening to:-
Central Hallway
Each orientation of the house can be accessed from this welcoming space. Also from three aspects there are archways cleverly mirroring one another, some original, some recreated. The stripped staircase extends up to the first floor.
Drawing Room 17’10” x 16’0” (5.45m x 4.88m)
The original sash windows overlook the front whilst a pair of part glazed double opening doors (note the familiar arch within the glazing) provide both an additional aspect and access to one of the patio areas. To the centre of the outside wall is a slate fireplace with a cast-iron stove inset. The original flooring has been exposed and polished.
Study/Reception Room 17’10” x 15’11” (5.45m x 4.87m)
Enjoying a similar configuration to the drawing room with double aspect patio doors (again with the familiar arch detailing), fireplace, stove and flooring.
Dining Room 14’7” x 13’8” (4.45m x 4.17m)
Sash windows with side shutters overlook the front gardens and main entrance. To the centre is a further slate fireplace with built in storage to one side and storage with shelving to the other. Once again, the original flooring is exposed.
Side Entrance
Continuing to the end of the hallway, a step leads down to an open side lobby. Here a small turning staircase accesses the smaller bedrooms whilst a part glazed door provides an additional access outside.
Kitchen/Breakfast Room 21’11” x 13’10” (6.70m x 4.22m)
Clearly a carefully considered and thoughtfully created kitchen space. This room adds an extremely practical and more modern aspect to the vicarage. A wonderful level of storage is available via an expanse of fitted wall and base units, covered by solid granite work surfaces over every suitable area. Provisions have been made for larger appliances such as a range cooker and double width fridge/freezer, whilst to the side there are additional double ovens and integrated fridge/freezer. Also built in there is a wine fridge and dishwasher. Double glazed casement windows overlook the side and rear, spotlights are inset to the ceiling and a stable style doorway opens to the side providing easy access to the adjoining scullery/boiler house. Steps lead to via a part glazed door (with arched detailing) through to:-
Morning Room 14’6” x 14’4” (4.43m x 4.37m)
Catching the morning sun, wide, glazed doors open onto a small patio. To one corner, there is a built in bureau with storage above. The floors are tiled here (as with the kitchen) and access continues to:-
Cloak Area
Built in storage cupboards allow for hanging and storage space with further storage above. Exposed original flooring continues through a doorway to:-
Cloakroom
Refitted whilst retaining the originality using a high level cistern w.c. And pedestal handwash basin with period style tiling.
First Floor Landing
Not just a purposeful area, there is a attractiveness within this generous space that can be appreciated day-to-day. As with downstairs the archways have been replicated and visible, to the roof there are some exposed beams and a window allowing light to flow through. The landing is split level with a smaller landing accessing the smaller bedrooms and staircase (believed to be the former servants quarters). Throughout the upstairs, the original floor boarding has been retained and exposed.
Master Bedroom 15’11 X 14’8” (4.86m X 4.49m)
A sash window overlooks the side whilst the original slate fireplace remains for ornamental purposes. To either side, there are built in storage wardrobes. A door accesses:-
En-Suite Area
This room is ready to be finished but by the next occupier. The side window exists and the plumbing and wiring are in situ for its completion.
Bedroom 12’6” x 12’2” (3.82m x 3.72m)
The same ornamental fireplace remains with the addition of a ceiling beam. There is built in storage on entry and door leading to:-

Bedroom 14’5” x 13’8” (4.40m x 4.17m)

Bedroom 11’6” x 9’0” (3.53m x 2.77m)
Currently configured as an office but a wonderfully bright room with sash window to the side.
Bathroom
A stunning, traditionally styled room with slipper bath centred beneath the sash window. A vanity unit with twin inset sinks and stone surfaces stands eloquently with storage set beneath. There is a low level w.c., and original fireplace remaining with a “copper & grate” retained within. To the side of this, there is additional storage.

Outside
As with the house itself, much thought has been applied and much work has been carried out to transform what was an overgrown, neglected space into usable and attractive grounds and gardens. Totalling around 1 1⁄2 acres, the majority of the lawns surround the property to both the side and rear. Various mature trees still remain although many have been removed although in many cases, the timbers have been sawn and retained for future projects. There are areas of vegetable patches and several patio/seating areas both nearer to the property and further to the end of the gardens. One such area also houses a summerhouse which also has power connected. To the front, a Folly has been created as the main pedestrian access. This more formal area has a path continuing down to the front entrance with lawns either side and lower-level shrubbery surrounding.
Accessed from the kitchen, a side patio exists, enclosed to the front with a newly created, solid wall with gated accesses set within. T...
“Orchard Cottage”
A former, tack room and stables that used to serve the Vicarage, this building has had several, main parts of its restoration completed. This has left an enclosed area which is certain to be ideal for several different purposes. Measuring around 1000 square feet in total and set over 2 floors, it benefits from having its own power and lighting with drainage situated close by. Attached to the rear, a veranda and seating area has been created with the oak beams having been harvested from trees from within the grounds.
Agents Notes:
The property has a private drainage system and has oil central heating.
