House For Sale £2,750,000
The Old Vicarage is a stunning former vicarage which lies adjacent to All Saints Church, although hidden from view. Designed by the famous British architect, Sir Thomas Henry Wyatt, it was the vicar's primary residence until sold in 1967.
The house is approached through ornate iron gates with a sweeping driveway enclosed by mature trees, hedging and a large gravelled parking area. Completely refurbished, the house has been tastefully designed with a classic style throughout yet retains much
of its original character and charm. The elegant reception hall leads to the principal reception rooms which include a classic drawing room and dining room, ideal for entertaining on a grand scale. In addition, there is a study and cosy sung with French doors leading out onto a walled courtyard. The rooms have attractive fireplaces and large mullion windows overlooking the gardens.
The kitchen has been fitted with bespoke cabinets and an Aga. Opposite the kitchen is the well-fitted utility room. Adjacent to the back stairs is access to the large cellar.
From the spacious first floor landing, there is access to the principal bedroom suite with its excellent adjoining bathroom and dressing area above. There are two further bedroom suites with adjoining bathrooms, four further bedrooms and a family bathroom arranged over the first and second floors. The large attic could provide further accommodation if required. All the rooms are well proportioned with high ceilings and plenty of natural light.
Lying to the east of the house is the stunning indoor swimming pool complex. This includes a saltwater pool and spa, as well as a separate gym. There is also a home office with a kitchenette. Adjoining this is a garage that subject to the necessary planning consents, could be converted into a bedroom to create a self-contained cottage.
The house stands centrally within its mature grounds, with good garden views from the principal rooms and gravel terrace pathways. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and borders. A delightful walled courtyard to one side provides an ideal location for summer dining. There is also an orchard with a good array of fruit trees including apple, pear, quince, peach and a medlar tree.
The Old Vicarage lies on the edge of Burbage, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty bordering the Savernake Forest with good local amenities, including a primary school, village shop, post office, pub and a doctor's surgery.
