The Old Vicarage is a substantial late-Victorian detached house set in about 2.04 acres on the edge of Collingbourne Kingston. The property offers generous, well-proportioned rooms, high ceilings and large windows that deliver excellent natural light across flexible living spaces — ideal for an extended family or someone seeking a countryside home with character.
Ground-floor reception rooms include a double-aspect sitting room, a drawing room with French windows onto a sheltered gravel terrace, and a dining room opening to the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room with an Aga and the welcoming hallway with open fire emphasise the house’s period charm. Upstairs are five principal bedrooms and two bathrooms, with one or two further bedrooms and a bathroom on the second floor — in total approximately 5,951 sq ft (c.37 rooms in all).
The mature east-facing gardens, fenced paddock and graveled drive with private parking are major assets. A former coach house provides garaging and substantial storage; it previously had planning consent for conversion which has now lapsed, so any annexe conversion would need fresh permission. Services include mains water and electricity with oil-fired heating; broadband is slow and mobile signal average.
Practical points to note: the coach house and some parts of the estate will need updating; council tax is described as quite expensive. This property suits buyers wanting a large, characterful family house in a peaceful village setting, with scope for sensitive improvement or redevelopment subject to consents.
