Description

This spectacular property dates back to the 1700s and boasts 3 acres of land, stables, a huge amount of internal living space, 2 double garages plus ample additional off-road parking, and fantastic far reaching views of the surrounding countryside. It became a vicarage around 1897 and underwent extensions, and in 2005 the current owners further extended to provide a stunning open plan kitchen/dining room with a vaulted ceiling. It has been a fantastic family home for 40 years and is a great property for entertaining. It is ideally located in the popular village of Dobcross in a quiet, private location, within easy reach of good local schools/nurseries, local attractions and transport links. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a unique piece of history that has been sympathetically modernised to create a truly stunning family home, and as such viewing is highly recommended! NO CHAIN
