Property Description

The Old Vicarage is a handsome Grade ll Listed Georgian gem, and a credit to the current owners who, following extensive refurbishment in 2004, have created a property with huge warmth and charm, full of natural light, and with all the modern attributes one would expect. All this whilst retaining the character and sense of history of a very handsome Georgian vicarage.

Light floods in through Georgian sash windows, with privacy and views of the gardens from every room. The arrangement of rooms is ideal for family living, with a large bespoke kitchen / breakfast room opening out through double doors onto a small patio and large formal garden beyond. Similarly, double doors in the Sitting room open out onto a patio and small secluded lawn area to the side of the house. Original features abound, with high ceilings, decorated cornicing and panelled doors, brass fittings, and a large domed light well in the central hallway.

The Drawing room is ideal for entertaining, with an integral door to the Study, allowing views out over the front lawn and ponds. Log burning stoves in the Drawing room and Sitting room supplement working marble surround fireplaces in the Dining room and Study. Six bedrooms (two with dressing rooms) and five bathrooms (four en-suite) provide comfortable well laid out accommodation. The master bedroom is a grand room with high ceilings, tall windows, and beautiful views of the garden, paddock and open countryside beyond.

The bathrooms are fed by a pressurised water system giving hot water on demand. The oil fired heating system is sectioned by floor to provide versatile heating requirements. Wooden shutters throughout the majority of the house provide uniformity of window covering and insulation without the need for curtains.

Approached down a quiet lane on the Shropshire/Worcestershire border in the parish of Neen Savage, The Old Vicarage occupies an idyllic position amidst the rolling farmland surrounds of the River Rea Valley, situated behind electric gates opposite the charming Norman church of St. Mary’s.

The vibrant market town of Cleobury Mortimer is only minutes away, with its Medical Centre, butchers, ironmonger, baker, hair salons, convenience stores, pubs and eateries, petrol station, vegetable shop, and the infamous church spire.

The beautiful countryside offers horse riding, cycling and walking on the doorstep and golf courses are available nearby. Notable schools are Lacon Childe in Cleobury (a leading sport college), King Edward’s and Kings School in Worcester, and Moor Park, Abberley Hall and Moffatts preparatory schools locally.

Road communication to the ancient cathedral city of Worcester, the birth place of Elgar and the burial site of King John, providing access to the M5.

The vibrant market town of Ludlow, with its historic castle and wealth of independent shops, cafes and restaurants, is on the main train line from Cardiff to Manchester.

Birmingham and nearby Kidderminster offer
excellent shopping facilities and major retail
stores.

Sitting amongst Great Sequoia, Cedar, Yew, Liquid Amber and Lime trees, the house is surrounded by formal gardens and two natural ponds. The borders are laid to shrubs being easy to maintain, and there is a charm to each different section of the garden. A variety of apple, pear, crab apple and mulberry trees are present, and vegetables are grown in that part of the walled kitchen garden
not laid to lawn. Two fresh water streams feed the ponds, which flow via the monk into the River Rea in the valley below.
To the rear of the house and set in an elevated position, the tennis court and entertaining area is a sun trap enjoyed throughout the summer months.
There are various outbuildings and stores, of particular note is the detached coach house, which offers tremendous potential for conversion (subject to necessary consents).
