Set high on Linton Hill, The Old Vicarage is a Grade II Listed former vicarage dating from the late 15th century, full of authentic period features and sweeping views across the Weald. The house offers generous living areas including a characterful sitting room with inglenook and log burner, a recently refitted kitchen (2023) with quartz worktops and integrated Neff appliances, and a mahogany conservatory that enjoys the panorama to the rear.
The tiered rear garden is extensively landscaped with lawn, mature planting and a ragstone wall, creating private outdoor space and strong visual appeal. Practical elements include a single garage, driveway parking and secondary glazing to many leaded-light windows. Broadband speeds are fast and there is no flood risk, while local countryside walks and village amenities are within easy reach.
Important considerations: the property's Grade II listed status will affect alterations, maintenance and listed-consent requirements and may add cost and lead times for any changes. There are two bathrooms serving four bedrooms, and council tax is described as quite expensive — factors to weigh for larger families. Mobile signal is average in this hamlet location.
This home will suit buyers seeking a distinctive period property with exceptional outlooks and landscaped grounds, who are comfortable with the responsibilities of maintaining a listed building. Good commuter rail links to London and nearby grammar schools add practical appeal for families and professionals.
