The Old Vicarage Pages V3_BR.indd 5 02/11/2015 09:59 Seller Insight When we discovered The Old Vicarage it was all but derelict, but the minute we set foot inside we both immediately felt that it had the most wonderful atmosphere; something that we still feel to this day.” “We took the house back to as original a state as we could and essentially started from there,” continues Rachel, “and over the years we have continued to do little bits here and there. It’s a house that is absolutely steeped in history, and from what some of the oldest residents of Scarcliffe have told me it used to be the real hub of village life, so we have done out best to sympathetically restore the property to its former glory incorporating all modern conveniences.” Although the village of Scarcliffe lies in a picturesque location, it is also convenient and close to a good selection of shops and amenities. “We are only three miles from the motorway,” says Rachel, “so getting to places like Sheffield or Nottingham isn’t a problem.” The Old Vicarage Pages V3_BR.indd 6 02/11/2015 09:59 The Old Vicarage Pages V3_BR.indd 7 02/11/2015 09:59 When it’s cold outside there’s no place better than the living room,” says Rachel. “With the fire roaring away it’s wonderfully cosy and comfortable.” The Old Vicarage Pages V3_BR.indd 8 02/11/2015 09:59 The Old Vicarage Pages V3_BR.indd 9 02/11/2015 09:59 This is a house that lends itself to parties, and we’ve had so many very memorable occasions here. We’ve held some great murder mystery parties, which are tremendous fun.” The Old Vicarage Pages V3_BR.indd 10 02/11/2015 09:59 This has been a fabulous family home,” says Rachel, “and I think we’ll both be sad to go. We’ll miss the space, the ambiance and the garden with its rich variety of wildlife.
