Description
A truly exceptional opportunity to acquire your dream home, The Old Vicarage is a magnificent six-bedroom detached residence of outstanding calibre, rarely available on the open market. Set within over two acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, this remarkable home combines breathtaking countryside views with cutting-edge luxury, architectural excellence, and meticulous attention to detail throughout.
Approached via electric wrought iron gates, a sweeping driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles and leads to an integral double garage with electric up-and-over door. From the moment you arrive, the grandeur of this home is undeniable, enhanced further by manicured lawns, elegant water features, and a state-of-the-art smart security system.
Stepping inside, the impressive reception hallway with feature open fireplace immediately sets the tone for the sophisticated accommodation beyond. The ground floor offers a formal lounge and an elegant sitting room, both beautifully appointed and designed for entertaining and relaxation, with direct access onto the stunning gardens.
A cleverly concealed secret door leads to an inner hallway, cloakroom, W.C., and a beautifully refined home office, ideal for modern living. Bespoke L.E.D lighting has been expertly designed throughout the property to accentuate the architectural detailing, feature walls, and statement light fittings.
Undoubtedly the heart of the home is the spectacular open-plan kitchen and family living space. Boasting an awe-inspiring vaulted ceiling measuring approximately eight metres high, this incredible room is flooded with natural light and opens onto a spacious balustrade terrace overlooking the grounds.
The bespoke kitchen has been crafted to the highest specification and centres around a stunning six-metre Krion island. Premium integrated appliances include a Bora X induction hob, two Gaggenau ovens, espresso coffee machine, combi microwave, two warming drawers, twin wine coolers, integrated tall fridge and freezer, Quooker tap, and dishwasher. A striking 360-degree panoramic fireplace elegantly separates the kitchen from the living and dining areas, creating an unforgettable focal point. A further hidden door leads to the utility and plant room, with internal access into the double garage.
The first floor features a spectacular galleried landing overlooking the family room below, leading to a second utility room, a luxurious Porcelanosa family bathroom, and four beautifully presented bedrooms. The guest suite enjoys its own Porcelanosa en-suite and walk-in wardrobe, while the outstanding principal suite is truly showstopping. Featuring five-metre sliding doors opening onto a private terrace, the suite also benefits from a luxurious en-suite shower room and an expansive walk-in wardrobe. A staircase rises to a private mezzanine snug, perfect for reading, relaxation, or enjoying morning coffee with elevated countryside views.
The second floor offers two further impressive bedroom suites, both complete with luxury en-suites. One suite also enjoys access to a private balcony and an additional hidden snug room, further showcasing the individuality and design excellence of this extraordinary home.
The lower ground floor provides an expansive and versatile space with endless possibilities, whether utilised as a gym, games room, cinema room, golf simulator, wine cellar, or exceptional entertaining area. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open directly onto another impressive terrace, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
Externally, the grounds are nothing short of spectacular, offering beautifully landscaped gardens, multiple terraces, and panoramic rural views. The property also benefits from detached barns with permitted development rights, presenting exciting potential for further accommodation, leisure facilities, or business use subject to the relevant permissions.
Every inch of The Old Vicarage has been thoughtfully curated for luxurious modern living, including a fully integrated phone-controlled smart home system, underfloor heating throughout, exceptional craftsmanship, and an uncompromising finish rarely found even in the most prestigious homes.
The Old Vicarage is far more than simply a home; it is a landmark residence, seamlessly blending timeless character with world-class contemporary luxury.
