The Old Vicarage is a beautiful family home with a range of immaculately presented accommodation throughout. The property comprises an entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor and doors to the principal reception rooms. These include an impressive drawing room with a fireplace and a sizeable dining room also with a fireplace. The hub of this home is the kitchen/breakfast room; there is ample space for a dining area with double doors opening out to the perfectly positioned orangery, ensuring this space lends itself well to those that entertain.

The kitchen has a range of bespoke wooden units beneath solid maple worktops with integrated appliances, including a Wolf double oven Range cooker, Subzero fridge freezer, Subzero wine cooler, Neff microwave, Miele dishwasher and Quooker tap providing boiling, filtered and sparkling water.

The ground floor is complimented further via a useful study, snug, extensive games room with double doors to the rear, a large boot room and utility. Stairs rise from the snug to the offices, ensuring the property works well for those looking to run a business from home.

The upper floors mirror the exacting standard of finish to that of the ground. An enviable principal bedroom suite has double doors to an idyllic balcony, a large Smallbone dressing room and a stunning Smallbone en suite bathroom with double sinks and a separate shower. There are two further double bedrooms on this floor, both of which have an en suite shower room. To the second floor are two double bedrooms and a further shower room.

To complete the accommodation, accessed either internally or externally is a well-appointed, self-contained guest suite/annexe comprising an open plan kitchen living room and an en suite double bedroom, which has double doors opening onto an enclosed courtyard garden.

The property is entered via a gated driveway providing parking for several cars. The gardens and grounds are truly wonderful, well stocked with herbaceous borders, mature trees, large lawn areas and several patio areas allowing for sun throughout the day and to enjoy the delightful views. The wonderfully landscaped gardens flow to the countryside beyond, with a mix of stone patio areas and a small orchard with a mix of Espalier cherry, apple, pear and plum trees. Nestled away within a sheltered area of the grounds is the tennis court.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

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

    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
