Exquisite 5 Bedroom Grade II Residence with Architectural Flair, Steeped in History with Three Luxurious Holiday Cottages

The Old Vicarage offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history in a truly special location, offering a harmonious blend of sophisticated living and tranquil privacy

Nestled in the heart of the historic village of Edenhall, once the estate village of the Manor of Edenhall, this property exudes character and charm. Dating back to medieval times, Edenhall boasts a rich history, with the manor serving as the seat of the Musgrave family from the fifteenth century. The house itself, constructed of red sandstone and rendered under a hipped roof, was substantively rebuilt circa 1780 in the Late Georgian style. The property has undergone a comprehensive restoration, seamlessly integrating modern comforts with its historical significance. The addition of a conservatory, spa bathroom, and beautifully finished interiors creates a sophisticated living space that is both formal and welcoming. With its ecclesiastical importance and possible connection to W.H. Auden's play ‘The North’, this is a distinguished Grade II property which is rare to the market.

Internally, the home boasts a wealth of character and refined details, beginning with decorative fireplaces, ornate cornicing, charming wooden window shutters and panelling, stone mullion windows and ornate decorative features.

The entrance vestibule offers a welcoming introduction to the magnificent central staircase, showcasing decorative glass floral features, ornate balustrades and newel posts and wonderful high ceilings. The heart of the home resides in the kitchen/morning room, featuring bespoke maple cabinets, sleek black granite work surfaces, a central island unit, integrated Lieberman refrigerator, an oil-fired aga, and a built-in bespoke desk and shelving unit. The reception hall is adorned with elegant wooden panelling, leading to an entrance lobby with built-in coat cupboards. A magnificent L-shaped conservatory/sunroom overlooks the meticulously maintained Italian garden and water feature, enhanced by Pilkington Insulight double glazing and ACii air conditioning. The dining room provides an incredible experience, featuring listed building features, including a gothic revival-style carved fireplace and cornicing. The two drawing rooms offers flexible usage, one currently functioning as a family lounge and the adjoining reception room would be easily adaptable to a media room, home office, or even independent living accommodation with an adjoining study. This is a truly exceptional property, blending historic charm with modern comfort and versatility.

The first floor unveils an incredible master bedroom suite, complete with a dressing room and a discreet staircase leading to a spa-style bathroom. This luxurious bathroom features imposing exposed beams, a stylish walk-in shower, and a bath encased in elegant marble tiles. The impressive staircase leads to four further generously sized bedrooms, one boasting an en-suite shower room, in addition to a modern family bathroom. Practical amenities include a utility room, ground floor WC, double garage, and cloakroom.

Externally, the stunning gardens provide a serene retreat with a gated driveway, formal box hedging, and manicured lawns, bordered by established trees and shrubs, creating a very private space. Established flower beds, mature trees, and an Italian water feature enhance the outdoor space, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living with inviting terraces. This property presents an unparalleled opportunity for discerning buyers seeking a distinguished and refined home.
