Property description
The Old Vicarage is a superb Victorian detached home offering up to six bedroom family accommodation set in approximately 2.5 acres marketed by Fine and Country Northern Lincolnshire. A formal , bay fronted lounge and separate dining room enjoy views over the grounds and there is a further snug and study. The pine effect kitchen with Aga, utility and cellars are practical spaces leading to an enclosed courtyard. There are four double bedrooms and two bathrooms to the first floor with a further two rooms to the second floor. The former Coach House is now garaging and workshop. Superb mature grounds. Accessible to motorway network. This quintessential Victorian, former Vicarage offers up to six bedroom accommodation within approximately three acres of parkland style grounds studded with mature native trees.
Understood to date back to 1863 the well proportioned and flexible family accommodation exhibits an intimate grandeur that does not overwhelm. There is a sense of permanence in the Gothic arched entrance and reception hall with its fine return staircase and deep skirtings and a quiet dignity in the dual aspect lounge with deep bay overlooking the lawned grounds and in the formal 18' dining room.
The separate snug has become a peaceful retreat and the study provides an excellent space for the home worker. There is also the practicality demanded by modern family life: the pine effect breakfast kitchen with Aga is enhanced by the large utility room with walk in larder and a two room cellar.
The generosity of light continues to the first floor where there are four double bedrooms – one of which enjoys en-suite facilities – together with a sizeable family bathroom with shower whilst the second floor contains a further two rooms which could easily become additional bedrooms if required.
The delightful grounds divide into distinct sections: there are sweeping lawns to the east and south, an enclosed lawned garden to the rear and a large grassed orchard to the remaining side. In addition to the reception parking the former Coach House is now utilised as garaging and workshops and there are further brick stores and greenhouses. Discreetly situated some two miles from the M180 motorway network, The Old Vicarage is well placed to take advantage of the regions major communication centres and Humberside International Airport and main line rail links are also locally available.
The Old Vicarage has stood the test of time: it is a canvas on which to paint your own family history.
