Property description
The original entrance was from the main road but now the house is approached through wrought iron double gates and down a gravelled drive leading from the residential area behind the property.Despite its quaint and cottagey outward appearance many of the rooms are very finely proportioned - large, light and spacious with high ceilings, often retaining period features such as picture rails, ceiling roses, original timber panelled doors and panelling in the window or door casements, and period fireplaces, many - including the staircase - have been stripped revealing the timber. Both the dining room and the main reception rooms have working fireplaces, the living room a wood-burner housed within a black slate fireplace. This room has huge internal French doors opening into an adjacent reception room currently used as a children's games room. The location of the property is extremely convenient: the primary school is only five minutes' walk away, and there's a village store which houses a post office. The big supermarkets on the edge of town are only about three miles away. A FAITHFUL FAMILY HOME: \"This charming abode of brick and carrstone, once the vicar's sixteenth century home. The outward appearance quite cottagey to behold belies abundant space beyond the threshold. Not only a fine old house full of rooms but an annexe and a cottage, in the past the groom's. All these things, plus big garden, you find as you arrive from the village of Middleton down the long gravel drive.\"
