The property has been renovated in 2020 by the current owners, who have maintained the 16th century period features, including a return staircase and stone arch fireplace with original brick built bread oven.

The property features three reception rooms, a walled garden and single storey detached cottage which could be developed as an office or home gym. Another attractive feature is the exceptional views across to Teesdale and North Yorkshire.

Tim Leonard, Property Agent, GSC Grays, said: "The Old Vicarage is a beautifully restored Grade II listed family home, full of character and charm. The recent renovations and modernisation of the property has carefully preserved the wonderful period features."

The Butler's doorbell is the first indication of the period features, and the formal dining room showcases a unique Grade II listed stone arch solid wood beam. The dining room leads to a hand-built kitchen with marble countertops, overlooking the garden.

The kitchen is connected to the impressive orangery, offering views of the rear garden and beyond. While the orangery flows back into the reading room providing space for an office, snug or playroom while the dual aspect living room boasts a Grade II listed Inglenook stone fireplace.
