Property Details
Situated on the edge of this popular village, The Former Vicarage is an elegant and characterful five-bedroom detached family home, occupying a mature plot approaching half an acre. The property retains a wealth of original features, including an open fireplace, quarry-tiled flooring and stripped wooden floors, which complement its generous proportions and attractive period character. A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone for the accommodation and leads to a beautifully proportioned sitting room, with doors opening directly onto the garden. There is a further light and airy reception room, together with a formal dining room, kitchen, practical utility room and cloakroom, providing generous and versatile living space well suited to both family life and entertaining.

A family bathroom and separate lavatory complete the first floor. Outside, the wonderfully established gardens are a particular feature of the property, with mature planting, richly stocked borders and a variety of fruit trees creating an attractive and private setting. A long gravel driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to a single garage.
