The Old Vicarage

An extremely rare opportunity to acquire a charming Grade II listed 18th century former vicarage overlooking the village green and duck-pond in this pretty estate village in the heart of the Peak District National Park.

The house has a wealth of features including stone mullioned sash windows with working shutters, beamed ceilings and working fireplaces. It is set back behind a front walled garden and is accessed from the side across a shared drive leading to a pair of gates which open into an area of off road parking for several cars and a double garage. The front door leads into a large reception hall with a staircase rising to the first floor, a stone fireplace with wood-burner, window overlooking the front garden and a cloakroom off. To the left of the hall is a good sized sitting room, currently used as a study/office, with working fireplace flanked by bookcases. To the right of the hall is the drawing room with a wide bay window overlooking the garden and a working fireplace. To the rear of the house is the kitchen with a range of fitted wall and base units and built in four oven ‘AGA’ with electric hob, a wide arch leads into a good sized dining room with double doors to the rear terrace and garden. Also off the kitchen is a pantry with fitted Belfast sink, a lobby with door out to the side of the house and door to the three cellars. The dining room has a further door to a rear lobby with back door and secondary staircase to the first floor. At first floor level is the master bedroom with large en suite bathroom/dressing room, a guest bedroom with en suite bathroom, a further double bedroom, large linen cupboard and a large utility room with w.c and Belfast sink which was formerly a bathroom. To the second floor are two further double bedrooms, one of which has a decent sized studio/further bedroom off, and a family bathroom. The front of the house has a pretty walled garden laid mainly to lawn with gravelled paths and well stocked border surrounds, at the rear of the house is a large paved patio leading onto a gravelled area with raised vegetable beds and steps up to the large rear garden which is laid to lawn with various mature trees and shrubs.

Situation

Tissington is a quintessential English village, with a church dating back to Norman times, a fine Hall from the Jacobean period and a series of pretty village houses and farms, the majority of which are owned by the Tissington Estate thus making availability of a house here an extremely rare occurrence. The village sits in the rolling countryside of the Peak District National Park with all its wonderful outdoor pursuits and is within a short drive of the market town of Ashbourne with its excellent shopping and recreational facilities. The larger conurbation of Derby is within half an hour’s drive which with its more extensive facilities and railway station gives access to London (from 1 hour 32 minutes) and other parts of the country.
