The Old Vicarage is a charming and valuably unlisted Georgian country house, set in delightful gardens and grounds. The property was formerly the vicarage for the village until it was purchased from the Church by the current owners in the 1970’s. The Old Vicarage boasts wonderful reception space typical of a house of this period, with well proportioned rooms, high ceilings, and large sash windows that fill the rooms with natural light. The house is now in need of some refurbishment, and would lend itself to an extension above the single storey kitchen wing if desired. The delightful drawing room and sitting room are south-east facing and have particularly attractive, large sash windows. There is also a formal dining room, and a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, with large Venetian style windows opening onto the garden terrace, as well as a utility room, larder and cloakroom. The house still retains many attractive original features including fireplaces, an impressive staircase and cornice detailing. Upstairs there is a charming principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom, and four further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The Old Vicarage sits in beautiful mature gardens and grounds which were designed by the current owners over 40 years ago and are now fully mature. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn, and there are some impressive specimen trees and formal hedges, including a majestic Cedar of Lebanon. The gardens are larger than on first impression and could be opened up to reveal more of the stunning surrounding countryside. There is a single storey period outbuilding known as the bakehouse which has a fabulous old bread oven, and is currently used for outside storage space and garden machinery. There is also a single, brick built garage.

The Old Vicarage is situated in the small village of Upper Chute, in the heart of the North Wessex Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village is surrounded by stunning rolling countryside offering fabulous walking and riding opportunities in all directions. There is a fantastic local community in the village itself, and in the collection of nearby villages known as The Chutes, with a popular local pub in nearby Lower Chute. There is a wide range of amenities available in Andover, including high street shops, Tesco and Waitrose supermarkets, and excellent leisure facilities. There is also a popular farm shop, and Hillier's garden centre and restaurant, at Weyhill. The small market towns of Hungerford and Marlborough offer a further range of amenities including shops, cafes and restaurants. There is a wide choice of schools in the area, including Vernham Dean primary school, Farleigh, Horris Hill, St Gabriel's, Downe House, Marlborough College and Dauntsey's. Road and rail communications are excellent with fast train services from Andover into London Waterloo, and easy access to the A303/M3 linking with London and the west country.

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

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on November 28, 2023

    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
