An unlisted former Vicarage circa 1860 featuring six-bedroom, three bathroom accommodation with three handsome reception rooms, cellarage and large gardens with a walled courtyard.
A Victorian former vicarage of considerable character demonstrated by wonderful proportions including high ceilings and tall sash windows together with original features such as internal shutters and open fireplaces including some particularly attractive surrounds. Deep skirting boards and dado rails are also evident together with other characteristics of the period.
The accommodation combines six bedrooms, three bathrooms and three handsome reception rooms along with a good size kitchen/breakfast room and useful cellarage.
Being unlisted, the accommodation affords some flexibility for reconfiguration and general improvement allowing for plenty of scope and potential.
To one side of the house is a delightful walled courtyard complete with purpose-built BBQ. The rear gardens are laid to lawns with a sunny south facing terrace and pond. Clipped hedging divides the upper part of the garden from the lower portion with an opening in between. A rainwater collection chamber can be used with the use of the pump for garden watering.
At the front of the house there is plenty of off-road parking and potential for a new driveway opening to be created, subject always to planning consent.
The property is situated in the heart of the Village of Lympne close to the primary school and village hall with adjacent playing fields. The Old Vicarage is situated in the heart of the Village of Lympne close to the primary school and village hall with adjacent playing fields.
