Secluded Country Retreat With 2 Acres, Landscaped Gardens & Converted 3-Bed Coach House

The Old Vicarage is a hidden gem, perfectly tucked away behind tree-lined boundaries that ensure complete seclusion and privacy. A pair of impressive electric gates open onto a sweeping gravel driveway, leading to a spacious parking and turning area with carport, framed by manicured lawns and dotted with mature trees and shrubs. The drive continues around the property, once connecting to a charming country lane, hinting at the property’s historic past.

The gardens are nothing short of spectacular. Exquisite lawns stretch out from the house, bordered by vibrant, carefully planted beds filled with peonies, geraniums, and a wide variety of seasonal color. Mature trees provide natural shade and depth, while winding lawns lead into more densely planted areas, culminating in a magical woodland copse – a haven for both wildlife and peaceful walks.

To the rear of the Vicarage, a sun terrace looks out over sweeping lawns, where hydrangeas, camellias, and rhododendrons flourish against a backdrop of magnificent deciduous trees. Every turn reveals another picture-perfect scene, from formal beds bursting with colour to quiet shaded corners for moments of calm.

Extending to around two acres, these enchanting gardens are private, sheltered, and designed for year-round beauty – truly a plantsman’s dream, and an idyllic setting for refined country living.

There is also the option to purchase a beautifully converted Coach House, offering three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Stylish yet full of character, it has been successfully run as a holiday let and would equally suit use as a guest house, income opportunity, or multi-generational accommodation.
