A beautiful and rather substantial, Victorian Vicarage which has recently been the subject of a thorough and complete renovation, restoring the building to an incredible and truly enviable standard.  Once the journey began, the current owners were determined to maintain its history and originality; stripping everywhere back to almost a shell, every aspect and detail underwent careful consideration before each area of reinstatement began. Walls were finished with lime plastering, floorboards were retained, restored and remain uncovered, cast-iron radiators were added throughout and each fireplace fully refurbished and reinstated. In addition, all of the sash windows have been professionally overhauled and even the smallest of finishing touches (such as the Bakelite switches and original doorbell mechanism) have been carefully executed. Victorian fixtures were sourced and when unavailable, were commissioned to be replicated. Therefore, when walking through the property, (under the tall ceilings, matching archways and across the polished floorboards and original tiled floors) the sense of its history is very much present but with every comfort and reassurance of the quality and condition of all that is seen. In terms of its accommodation, there is approaching 3500 square feet of wonderfully light, naturally flowing space available. Downstairs, this includes 3 formal reception rooms, additional breakfast room and the most successfully crafted and modern kitchens that extends to a maximum of 22ft in size.  Upstairs, there are 7 bedrooms all of which are of a generous size with 3 of these enjoying modern, en-suite facilities. There is also the option to complete a 4th bathroom whilst the main bathroom boasts a slipper bath sitting beneath the rear window.  

In addition to the main house, there is further, exciting potential that exists with the adjacent, 2 storey, former stable block, named unofficially as ‘Orchard Cottage’. This has already been the subject to partial renovation, new electrics and an external veranda added and has plumbing running nearby. Measuring around 1000 square feet, it would surely lend itself as additional accommodation, separate workspace/studio or as use as a guest suite or holiday let (subject to relevant planning permissions).

All-in-all, the grounds and gardens circle the property and measure around 1 ½ acres in total and largely enjoy views over the surrounding farmland and countryside. The sun travels around and various patios have been added to benefit from this throughout the day. Largely laid to grass, there are a variety of mature trees and the front garden has been formalised with a Folly entrance created to the front allowing access directly down to the front entrance door. Of course, there is extensive levels of parking.

After years of meticulous project management, this ecclesiastical building has been safeguarded for years to come. Most importantly, it stands as a successful, inviting and welcoming home which can only truly be appreciated through visiting in person.
