The Old Vicarage is a charming Grade II Listed house with six bedrooms and a wealth of character features arranged across two floors. Period details throughout include cornicing and ceiling roses, large sash windows and cast-iron open fireplaces, which sit alongside clean, neutral décor to create a thoroughly attractive and inviting environment. The property, dating from around 1840, provides spacious, airy accommodation with a self-contained studio annexe within the coach house. There are beautiful country gardens and views stretching to the coast.

The ground floor offers the generous sitting room with its south-facing bay window and feature fireplace. There is a private study, a formal dining room and a further reception room which has a fireplace fitted with a woodburning stove. The kitchen has flagstone flooring, farmhouse-style units, a breakfast bar and an Aga. Adjoining the kitchen is a sunny conservatory, with French doors opening out onto the front garden. A w/c and useful utility room for further home storage and appliances completes the ground floor.

Upstairs there are six well-presented double bedrooms, each allowing light to flood in through the large sash windows. The well-proportioned principal bedroom benefits from a sizeable en suite bathroom and dressing room with built-in wardrobes. There are two further en suite bedrooms, one of which has a bathroom, while the other has a shower room. The first floor also has a family bathroom with a freestanding bathtub.

The detached coach house provides further accommodation, ideal for guests or multi-generational living. It features a shower room on its ground level, as well as a fully equipped stylish modern kitchen with space for informal dining. Rising from the kitchen is a floating staircase with glass balustrading leading to the first floor. Upstairs is a large studio-style bedroom or games room among the eaves, which could also serve as a spacious office or home gym.

At the entrance, gated access leads to a paved driveway with parking for several vehicles and the detached coach house, which includes a double garage and additional accommodation. To the north of the house, the garden features a heated outdoor swimming pool with sun terrace, while to the south, a sunny patio provides space for al fresco dining, with a well-kept lawn beyond. A private woodland and bluebell meadow to the side of the property offers elevated views across the village and towards the coastline. The whole totals 1.5 acres.
