The Old Vicarage is a delightful Grade II Listed Victorian house that offers four bedrooms and a self-contained two-bedroom cottage at the rear, with a wealth of original character including high ceilings, tall windows and original fireplaces. While the accommodation could benefit from some modernisation, the rooms are well-proportioned and welcome plenty of natural light throughout.

There are three comfortable reception rooms in the main house, including the dual aspect drawing room, which has a fireplace and French doors opening onto the south-facing garden. There is also a formal dining room and a family room, which also offers south-facing French doors. The kitchen has wooden units to base and wall level, as well as space for the necessary appliances, with the adjoining breakfast area providing space for informal dining. Upstairs, the main house has four double bedrooms, two of which benefit from built-in storage. There is also a large family bathroom with an over-bath shower, a second bathroom and a shower room.

The cottage is accessed at the rear and connects to the main house via internal doors on the ground floor and first floor. It features a sitting room, a well-equipped kitchen with a walk-in larder and upstairs, two double bedrooms and a bathroom with a separate shower unit. The cottage is currently rented to tenants and offers the potential for a regular income.

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
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

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
