Property description
Property Description
This imposing former Victorian Vicarage dates back to circa 1840 and was later extended in 1860 to its current layout. Constructed mainly of sandstone ashlar and stone, this grade II listed property retains many period features to include fire places in all of the reception rooms, window shutters, servants bells in the kitchen and an impressive galleried landing.
The accommodation is set over three floors with the ground floor benefiting from three reception rooms and a sizeable kitchen/breakfast room with cloakroom/utility. On the first floor the galleried landing grants access to the master bedroom with dressing room and en suite, a further double bedroom and family bathroom. The second floor offers a further four bedrooms and shower room.
The property is approached via a shared drive that leads onto a paved parking area for a number of vehicles. The gardens have been landscaped by the current owner to create a private garden that offers a generous patio area, lawns and well stocked borders.
