Property description

The Old Vicarage is a spacious well maintained family home set in landscaped gardens which surround the property on all sides. Ideal for a family looking for space, it also offers potential for a Bed and Breakfast business. The property has a gracious Entrance Hall with an impressive oak staircase leading to the galleried landing . Shuttered French doors open on to the garden and adjacent to these is a cloakroom. The Sitting Room, Study and Dining Room all benefit from picture windows overlooking the gardens. The Sitting Room and Dining Room enjoy open fireplaces with the dining room boasting an original Claygate fire surround. The kitchen, which leads from the dining room, offers good working room and is ideal for contemporary entertaining. The adjacent Utility Room, with pantry off, offers opportunity for a hobby or boot room if so desired.
To the first floor, the master bedroom has a full en-suite bathroom and, with the three further double bedrooms each with hand basins, enjoys views of the surrounding countryside. There is a useful Box Room and a Family Bathroom with corner bath and excellent built- in linen airing cupboards. The loft, which is presently used for storage, would be ideal for converting to further accommodation if required.
Externally the property offers landscaped gardens with a sweeping driveway providing ample parking. This leads to the detached double garage which also provides scope for conversion to further residential accommodation.
