The Old Vicarage is an attractive house thought to date from around 1800. The front of the property has a handsome, formal facade and a wing was added to the rear during the middle of the Victorian era. The rooms have the proportions one would expect from a house of this period and are beautifully light, with large windows over-looking the formal gardens. The ceilings are a good height, adding to the feeling of space.
The house sits within beautifully established gardens.
The front door opens to the formal hall which has oak flooring. Double doors lead to each of the reception rooms and a further door opens to the kitchen.
The drawing room enjoys a dual aspect and has an open fire as the focal point. Across the hall, the dining room has windows to the garden and the terrace. The fireplace has been blocked at some stage and a cupboard inserted into the breast. A door opens to the kitchen. Steps lead down from the hall to the cellar which runs beneath the drawing room. The kitchen is fitted with a range of base units with work-surfaces and inset sink. The electric oven and hob are fitted and there is an extractor hood above. The island unit offers further counter space and a breakfast bar. Beside the French doors. The chimney breast has cupboards inset, but it is likely this could be re-opened to accept an Aga or range cooker. The useful utility is set beyond the kitchen and offers space for the usual appliances and further storage. The oil-fired boiler and pressurised hot water cylinder are housed within. The cloakroom is to one side and a second door opens to the conservatory.
The first floor landing has a beautiful view over the garden. There is access to each of the four bedrooms, and the well-appointed family bathroom. It would appear that there is sufficient space on the landing, for a staircase to rise to the vast roof space, which may offer conversion potential.
The main bedroom enjoys views of the garden and across the fields beyond. There are fitted wardrobes along one wall. A door opens to the en suite which has a large, walk-in shower, WC and washstand.
The second bedroom also enjoys a dual aspect with beautiful views. Again, wardrobes are fitted along one wall. The third and fourth bedrooms have a good outlook.
The property sits adjacent to Sheep Street and has a gravelled drive with two gated entrances, which sweeps around the house down to the garaging. The gardens extend to each side of the house. There are formal lawns, an orchard, a large terrace and a vegetable garden. The total plot extends to 0.64 acres and is enclosed by a stone wall, beyond which is the beautiful Grade I listed church.
Services – Mains water and electricity. Private drainage. Oil-fired heating.

Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
