About this property

Impeccable quality in a sought after locationImpeccable quality in a sought after location

The Old Vicarage is an imposing 19th century vicarage, built of local sandstone and set in a peaceful location between the picturesque thatched village of Cockington (listed in the Doomsday Book) and the splendid Victorian villas of Chelston, which lead down to the Torbay seafront.  The Old Vicarage originally served the parishes of Cockington Manor and Chelston and is a short walk away from Cockington Country Park with its craft shops and tea rooms.  Local shops are a 5 minute walk away and the seafront is 15 minutes.

The two bedroom cottage is the former Housekeeper's quarters within the Old Vicarage and has its own entrance, garden and off street parking for up to 3 vehicles.

The accommodation has recently been completely refurbished and has quality light oak furniture throughout, giving the property a subtle blend of contemporary, luxurious living within a Victorian property. There is also wooden patio furniture and a barbeque.

Cockington Court is nearby, offering the chance to watch craft demonstrations within the grounds of the historic manor house.  The grounds are also home to an organic kitchen garden, licensed restaurant offering the best of local fayre, and the Ark Play area offering safe play conditions for children. Visitors can also act like lord of the manor by taking a trip around the grounds in a horse drawn carriage.

Torquay seafront is within a 15 minute walk and the shops, restaurants and attractions of the town centre are a further 10 minute walk away.

This property especially welcomes families. There is a cot and highchair for younger guests, plus buckets, spades, toy cars, scooters and small bikes for children.

    ...Old Vicarage at Torquay. The accommodation was fantastic. Very comfortable for a family of four and spotlessly clean. The owner, Lindy, gave us a very warm welcome and provided the perfect welcome pack - tea and cake is the best way to start a holiday!! The Old Vicarage is perfectly placed to explore the area. Torquay is well within walking distance and Cockington village is only a five minute walk away and is a quintessentially English picture postcard village. A great place to spend a day. I would highly recommend The Old Vicarage and look forward to visiting other Blue Chip properties in the future. They will certainly have something to live up to. Submitted by Andrew on 15/08/2016

    ...sea front and Cockington Village. The accomadation is very clean and fresh. It's very homely and the reception and greeting on our arrival was second to none. Lindy gave us a very warm welcome and supplied us with a small shop of bread, milk etc so that we could just settle in without rushing to the shops. The Old Vicarage is a lovely place to stay and we will definitely be planning to come back and we would highly recommend it to all our friends and family. Submitted by Kenny on 11/07/2016
