Summary - VICARAGE HOUSE, DROITWICH, HIMBLETON WR9 7LE
Approximately 0.74 acre mature gardens with wide rural views
Vicarage House is a substantial Victorian family home set in about 0.74 acres on the fringe of Himbleton, offered to the market for the first time in over 30 years. High ceilings, sash and leaded-light windows, decorative cornicing and multiple working fireplaces give the reception rooms strong period character and generous natural light. The principal bedroom includes an en suite and walk-in wardrobe; four further double bedrooms and attic space provide flexible family accommodation.
Practical day-to-day living is well served: a large kitchen/breakfast room with Belfast sink and LPG Aga links to a conservatory, while a separate utility, pantry, cellar and ground-floor cloakroom add useful storage and service space. Detached garaging (three bays) and gated gravel driveway provide abundant parking and a workshop area; the grounds include formal lawns, a rose garden, orchard and sheltered seating with wide rural views to Bredon Hill.
Buyers should note a mixed-service and maintenance picture. The property uses oil and LPG for heating/cooking, with a relatively new Worcester oil boiler in the utility; the listing also references ground-source and underfloor heating elements, so buyers should verify systems and running costs. Private drainage via a recent treatment plant is in place. There is a medium flood risk for the area, broadband speeds are slow in practice, and council tax is band G (quite expensive).
This house suits families seeking space, privacy and period charm in a prosperous rural setting, or purchasers looking for a sympathetic refurbishment to update services and modern conveniences while retaining historic features. Important next steps are system surveys (heating, plumbing, drainage and electrics) and checking exact service capacities and warranties.
