The building has evolved over the years, combining a charming blend of Georgian and earlier architecture to create a substantial house with a wonderful feel throughout. The Georgian element provides elegant formal reception rooms in the shape of a library and drawing room. Both these handsome rooms...

The kitchen is to the middle of the house with plenty of space for a table; the units are set into a wide bay window. A lobby leads to a door opening to the front of the house and to the utility room.

All overlook the gardens to the rear.Two of the principal bedrooms occupy the Georgian part of the house, providing beautifully proportioned rooms with large sash windows. A Jack and Jill bathroom has a separate bath and shower. There are five further first floor bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room, and two attic bedrooms.The Old Vicarage offers the most wonderful amount of space combining beautifully the different ages of the house.
