An impressive Grade II listed vicarage offering almost 2,700 sq ft of characterful, recently refreshed accommodation set within about three acres of established gardens. The house combines original period features — flint-knapped façade, arched oak doorways, tall chimneys and stone fireplaces — with sympathetic modern upgrades including herringbone Amtico flooring, bespoke joinery and two newly fitted bathrooms.
Outdoor space is a principal asset: extensive lawns, formal planting, ponds, productive fruit and vegetable beds, mature trees and a heated outdoor swimming pool with a new summer house. A long private drive leads to a turning circle and detached double garage, and there is scope within the fenced southern paddock for small-scale equestrian or livestock use.
Practical points to note: the property’s Grade II listing will constrain major alterations and could complicate urgent works or extensions. The house sits on solid brick walls with limited historic insulation, broadband speeds are slow, and council tax is high. Heating is modernised via an air-source heat pump with underfloor heating, and the pool is heated by the same system, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
This home will suit buyers seeking a spacious, character-rich rural family house with significant grounds and ready-to-enjoy interiors, but who accept the responsibilities and restrictions that come with owning a listed period property and large estate grounds.
