A charming detached former Vicarage in a lovely village location nestled within its own glorious grounds of over two acres with a detached converted coach house and garaging.

Description
The Old Vicarage is a handsome detached home nestled in its own two acres with a one-bedroom coach house making it one of the finest properties within this charming village. The setting is lovely, being only 3 miles from Cheltenham yet with a semi-rural feel, edged as it is by open land and within moments from countryside walks. Unlike its listed counterparts, it’s a beautifully lateral home that is very much a workable and manageable family residence. The understated style of the house and the well cared for accommodation lends itself perfectly to modern life, with an excellent flow, generous proportions in addition to ample windows and doors allowing for lots of natural light, views, and connections to the gardens.

Entrance is through the wide reception hall which introduces the fine choice of reception rooms. There is a home office and a study at the front of the house making it an ideal space for two people to work from home independently of one another. The principal rooms occupy the rear of the house, designed to open up to the terrace and lawns which provide an idyllic backdrop and view for each room to enjoy. The sitting room, with its wood burning stove, is a lovely and spacious room, extending to over 23 ft, it enjoys a triple aspect vista and direct access to outside through side and rear doors. The formal dining room is adjacent and both rooms enjoy fireplaces as focal points. From here, double doors open to the large kitchen and breakfast room which is undeniably the hub of the house, ideal for both entertaining and family life alike. The kitchen itself is well appointed with a range of modern units, integrated appliances and a large island, this opens to an area for seating and dining adjacent to double doors that open to make a seamless connection to the garden. Off the kitchen is a large utility/boot room, also with direct access to outside, ideal as a secondary entrance point and for pets.

The bedrooms extend over the two upper floors. On first floor level the arrangement is both practical and balanced to that of the reception rooms. The principal suite has an en suite bathroom and built in wardrobes. A guest bedroom also benefits from an en suite shower room whilst a family bathroom and a separate shower room serves the remaining four bedrooms. In addition, there is a smaller bedroom, ideal as a cot room or snug.

On the second floor is a further bedroom with built in wardrobes and a sink adjacent to a landing area ideal for sofas or a desk. This floor makes an ideal quarter for guests or a live in au pair.


The Gardens & Grounds
The gardens are a particular feature to The Old Vicarage and a fundamental element to the overall feel of this home. Extending to over two acres, the main areas of level lawn are set to the rear and side of the house all overlooked by the principal reception rooms and bedrooms. The entire plot has been lovingly curated and maintained by the current owners who have stocked the gardens with a variety of fruit and specimen trees with flower and plants to the boarders bringing colour and maturity. The boundaries comprise well established trees and hedgerow with a classic brick wall to the side elevation. There are various spots within the grounds for seating and a large paved terrace, ideal for outside entertaining, all providing a lovely relaxed setting. To the side of the house, form the driveway, is a pedestrian gate into the garden with classic brick walling where there is a pergola and entrance into a private area of woodland.
