SELLERS INSIGHT We have owned The Old Vicarage for three years and have loved our time here. The village is incredibly welcoming and friendly, with people helping each other out when needed. The village hall and local residents often organize get-togethers in the summer and the monthly farmers market held at the Bell Inn pub is a nice way to support local businesses and catch up with people. The village is small enough to be incredibly safe for children, and there are plenty of family-friendly activities and events to enjoy, such as the annual bonfire night fireworks party and Christmas market. The local schools are excellent, and there is a strong sense of community amongst families in the area. As soon as we saw the house, we fell in love with it. We looked at a vast number of potential properties and none of them came close. We were drawn to the beautiful character and history of the house, the ample outdoor spaces and the gardens which provide tranquillity and a home to an array of wildlife. The size, location and warmth were all bonuses. It really is a home that ticked all the boxes. The Old Vicarage is Grade II listed thanks to its unique construction and heritage, including Regency style architecture, period sash windows, handmade red clay tiles and parapet walls. Once the home of the local parish vicar, the property has a fascinating history dating back to the early 1700s. Over the years, the original vicarage was extended, with the current footprint likely dating to the Victorian era. The house has been carefully maintained and updated by previous owners to showcase its heritage. Since we've owned the house, we have undertaken extensive restoration work to the flank wall around the front door. We have also redecorated a number of rooms, updated decor and installed a polytunnel and planting beds to create our own kitchen garden. We have spent a great deal of time tending to the mature gardens coppicing various trees and shrubs. We're proud of the work we have done in the garden; maintaining, improving and expanding it has enabled us to grow our own produce and enjoy the fruits of our labour. In the spring and summer, we love unwinding in the sun room, taking in the gardens and wildlife. The plants have been carefully planted and timed so there are flowers blossoming all year round, with everything currently starting to bloom, flooding the garden with life and colour. The garden also benefits from a greenhouse, workshop, log store and two summer houses. We have fond memories hosting garden parties and barbecues with friends and family. With huge amounts of space between the house, garden and parking, it's been a great hub for family get-togethers and impromptu gatherings. Whilst the front room with its log burner is incredibly cosy in the winter. The clear skies at night are also something we really value as we didn't realize how much we missed it while living in the city. The local area offers a perfect balance of peace and tranquillity, with easy reach of amenities and attractions. There is much history nearby and endless nature reserves to visit. We will miss the cycling routes and country walks right on the doorstep. We have also enjoyed the array of restaurants, pubs, and entertainment in the surrounding villages and towns. The convenience of commuting is one of the best things about The Old Vicarage. Door to door, you can be at Liverpool Street station in 1 hour, which always amazes people as that's the duration of many commutes on the London Underground. There are trains to London every 10 minutes and further afield which offer easy commutes to nearby towns, cities and the coast. It really does give you the best of both worlds - working in nearby cities, whilst still having the calm countryside to come home to. It's with heavy hearts that we've decided to move on from The Old Vicarage, due to a work relocation. We know that whoever buys this beautiful home will be incredibly happy here, just as we've been. Whether they're looking for the peacefulness of the countryside, an historic character property, or more outdoor space to improve work/life balance. The house is perfect for raising a family or for those looking for a tranquil location.   THE PROPERTY This charming Grade II listed former vicarage is a timber-framed property dating back to the early 1700s.
