Description
Home to the vicars of Stoulton until 1959, the predominantly Georgian vicarage evolved through the centuries from late Tudor times. The property has a wealth of features throughout a variety of eras. The older parts to the rear of the property have elegantly proportioned rooms with high ceilings, coving and deep sash windows with wooden shutters. The symmetrical front facade has a centre glazed doorway into the impressive hallway leading to three reception rooms.

The spacious kitchen breakfast room is well fitted with limed pine units, a four oven Aga, inglenook fireplace with a log burner and part flagstone flooring. There is also an integrated microwave, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. From the kitchen, a covered porch leads to the laundry room which has space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. From there a doorway leads into a useful pantry. An elegant staircase leads to the first floor landing which has an extremely light master bedroom with fitted wardrobes, dressing units and en-suite shower room which is Jack and Jill into the next bedroom. There are three further bedrooms, all with wash basins and one with WC, a family bathroom and separate shower room.

The original coach house and stables has been turned into two exceptionally well laid out self-contained units. The Stables flat on the ground floor has a door into the sitting room, a galley kitchen, bedroom and shower room. The Hayloft on the first floor is accessed via an external spiral staircase and has an open plan sitting room with kitchen area, bedroom and shower room. These properties are producing a good rental income as holiday lets, but could readily be used for extended family, relatives or a home office.

Grounds and Gardens
The gardens and grounds of The Old Vicarage are a particular feature of the property. There are many different areas in which to relax and enjoy the countryside beyond, including wildlife meadow, kitchen garden and orchard, walled rose garden, and extensive lawn with deep borders. Brick pillars and a wrought iron gate lead onto the gravelled driveway where there is an open two bay oak framed carport. A path leads round the side of the property where there are further outbuildings including a brick machine store along with a triple wooden garage. The large rear terrace runs across the back of the property and external wooden shutters to the kitchen windows make this a very pretty place to sit.
