Historic five-bedroom family home with extensive outbuildings and coastal access.
Grade II listed early-18th-century former rectory, substantial period features
Five bedrooms, three bathrooms and large reception rooms with high ceilings
Almost one acre of landscaped gardens backing onto farmland
Large outbuilding: double garage, music room, kitchen, shower room, stables
Outbuilding could provide annex/Airbnb/residential use subject to consents
Solid brick walls assumed uninsulated; insulation and upgrades likely needed
Oil-fired heating and boiler; consider future fuel or system replacement
Very slow broadband and quite expensive council tax; listed-status restrictions
Believed to date from the early 18th century, The Old Vicarage is a five-bedroom Grade II listed former rectory set in about one acre of thoughtfully planted gardens. The principal house retains period features — high ceilings, original fireplaces, exposed timbers and a cellar with an original baking oven — creating a generous, characterful family home close to countryside and coast.
A substantial outbuilding includes a double garage, music room, kitchen and shower room, with adjoining stables and workshops. This flexible range of spaces could suit annexed family living, home business or short-term let potential, subject to any necessary consents. Martin Mill station is under a mile away, with a straightforward rail commute to central London.
Practical considerations are straightforward and important to note: the property is Grade II listed which brings restrictions and potential costs for alterations; walls are solid brick and are assumed uninsulated; heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators; broadband speeds are very slow. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors should be weighed against the house’s size, setting and conversion potential.
For families this is a rare mix of formal reception rooms, extensive grounds and good local schools within reach. For buyers seeking a period home with scope to modernise and adapt, the house and large outbuilding offer significant potential, but any intended works will need to respect listed-building constraints and factor in upgrading heating, insulation and connectivity.
