St George's Church Vicarage, Eastgate Bank, Mickley. A truly magnificent stone-built historic Victorian-era vicarage residence (dating back pre-1900), occupying an enviable position in the historic village of Mickley, with breathtaking views across the Tyne Valley. Set within approximately two acres of beautiful grounds, St George's Church Vicarage offers an exceptional combination of architectural character, substantial and versatile accommodation, and extensive refurbishment to an impressive standard.

With its handsome stone elevations, tall sash-style windows, attractive slate roof and elegant proportions, this remarkable home is brimming with charm and individuality.

Extensively refurbished by the current owners since 2021, the property beautifully combines its period features with modern comforts. Improvements include a new roof, traditional cast iron radiators, lime-plastered walls and an oil-fired central heating boiler installed approximately three years ago.
