Set in the heart of Harrold, this Grade II listed 17th-century former vicarage offers generous, character-filled accommodation across three floors. Original features include fireplaces, window shutters, fitted cupboards and high ceilings, creating a genuinely historic home with contemporary potential. The property extends to 3,606 sq ft and sits on a very large plot with outbuildings and a south-facing garden — ideal for family life or those seeking private outdoor space in a village setting.
The ground floor combines formal and informal living areas: a dual-aspect drawing room with bay window and open fireplace, a sitting room leading to a glazed conservatory, a snug with a wood burner, dining room, and a kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining pantry/utility. Upstairs provide six bedrooms (three doubles on the first floor plus two further doubles on the second), a bathroom and a shower room, with cellar and cloakroom adding practical storage.
Practical factors to note: the listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate renovation work; the area is in a high flood-risk zone which affects insurance and mitigation requirements. Council tax is described as quite expensive. For buyers seeking a period home with scale and character in a prosperous rural village, this house rewards sensitive investment and repair rather than quick modernisation.
Nearby local amenities, well-regarded primary schools and a peaceful village atmosphere make this a strong choice for families wanting countryside life with community facilities close at hand. The plot, outbuildings and versatile reception rooms also appeal to buyers looking for home office space, a hobby studio, or scope to reconfigure living areas within listed constraints.
