The Old Vicarage

About this property

Built in 1870 of Purbeck stone, this lovely former Vicarage, has a wonderful country house feel and offers period features, light, space and comfort. It has large rooms with high ceilings, which are complimented by an eclectic mix of furnishing and antiques in keeping with its age. The wrought iron gates open onto a gravelled drive with box hedging and mature shrubs and trees creating privacy from the lane. There is a raised terrace which runs the length of the rear and the side of the property with beautiful views through the trees of the village and hills beyond. Eight steps lead down from the terrace to the croquet lawn and across to a raised covered pond. There is a large gravelled area with cobbled pathways, outside seating and a fire pit for alfresco dining.  Ample parking.
