Marston-on-dove, Hilton, Derby DE65 5GB

The sale of this former vicarage presents a truly unique opportunity to acquire a property that has been in the ownership of one family for over 40 years. The property is currently divided into two units with an interconnecting door, creating independent living spaces suited for multigenerational family living. The property requires modernisation throughout, and currently offers in total seven bedrooms, four reception rooms, two kitchens, two cloakrooms, two hallways, utility and larder - in total extending to 3218 sq.ft. Whether you need space for children, guests, extended family or a home office, this property has the scope to accommodate it all.

Furthermore, the property enjoys a generous 0.6-acre plot, with driveway and garden surrounded by fields to all four sides. The Old Vicarage is located within the highly convenient hamlet of Marston On Dove, close to an extensive range of amenities, commuter roads and rail networks.

To the original frontage is an entrance door leading into a spacious reception hallway with stone flagged floor and staircase leading to a first-floor galleried landing. Furthermore, the hallway provides access to a drawing room, dining room, fitted kitchen and cellar. The drawing room is of impressive proportions, enjoying a dual aspect with potential for views to the front aspect over surrounding countryside and the opportunity to connect to the garden on the side aspect. The dining room is equally spacious, having access to a kitchen and enjoying a dual aspect - with potential for views to the front aspect and an outlook to the side over the sweeping driveway. The fitted kitchen includes a side porch with driveway access and an interconnecting door to the separate rear living quarters.

The living accommodation to the rear aspect is entered via an entrance porch which leads into an entrance hallway, having staircase off to the first floor and a guest cloakroom. The hallway also provides access to a breakfast kitchen, dining room, sitting room and utility/storeroom. The fitted kitchen features an Aga, the interconnecting door which leads into the front accommodation and has an outlook over the sweeping driveway to the front aspect. Furthermore, both the sitting room and the dining room are well proportioned rooms and connect to the garden via patio doors. Completing the ground floor is the practicalities of a utility that leads into a storeroom.

Returning to the grand front aspect, the staircase off the reception hallway ascends to a half landing with access to a bathroom. Here, the two living spaces could be easily reconnected into one property by opening a stud wall, merging with the first-floor landing of the rear section. Continuing up, the staircase leads to a semi-galleried landing with a window offering views of the surrounding countryside. This landing grants access to three bedrooms.

The first floor of the rear accommodation features a corridor landing with a skylight window and provides access to four bedrooms and a large family bathroom.

Stepping outside, the property boasts a generous 0.6-acre plot. To the easterly aspect, a long sweeping driveway with dual entrances offers ample parking and storage. This driveway leads to both the grand front entrance and the practical rear access, which includes a brick former stable/store and an attached garage.
To the south/westerly aspect lies an expansive lawned garden, featuring a lawn tennis court cherished by the current owners for many years. This garden provides a private and sheltered retreat, enclosed by established hedging and the original Victorian curved garden at the rear. Additionally, there is a paved patio, vegetable garden, storage outhouse, and a greenhouse, enhancing the property's charm and functionality.
