The Old Vicarage is an exceptionally handsome double-fronted period house (c.1884) set in about 2.5 acres of landscaped gardens, terraces and adjoining woodland. Elevated and private, it offers far-reaching Cotswold views and a classic layout that suits family life and entertaining: an impressive entrance hall, three elegant reception rooms, a large kitchen/breakfast room with oil-fired AGA and substantial ancillary storage including cellar, pantry and boot/utility spaces.
Accommodation is arranged over three floors and totals about 4,099 sq ft. The principal bedroom suite includes a walk-in dressing room and en suite; four further double bedrooms and two additional bathrooms occupy the first and top floors, providing comfortable family and guest space. A detached coach house with vaulted ceiling, tack room, hay loft and garage creates useful secondary accommodation/ancillary storage and substantial parking, with an electric car charging point on site.
This is a characterful, largely well-presented country home that retains original period features and generous room proportions. Practical considerations include oil-fired central heating and walls of sandstone/limestone that are assumed to lack modern insulation. Council tax is described as very expensive. The property is not listed, and the village location provides a peaceful rural lifestyle while being within easy driving distance of Northleach, Cirencester and Cheltenham.
The Old Vicarage will appeal to families seeking space, privacy and countryside living, or buyers wanting a handsome period home with scope to modernise energy performance and personalise finishings. Note the lack of mobile signal on site; broadband is fast, and road links (A40/A417) and local schools are convenient for daily needs.
