Arguably, one of north west Cumbria's finest residences. Dating from 1857, this is a substantial and indeed handsome detached house, delightfully situated at the western end of one of our area's most sought after villages, standing amidst the most beautifully kept gardens and grounds and affording spacious and yet very manageable accommodation, ideal for 'executive' or family purchasers. The house retains considerable period character including marble fireplaces, ornate plasterwork, a fine stairway, as well as the original coach house, now an excellent garage. The gardens and grounds are a superb feature of the house, a true delight at all times of the year, most especially in the spring and summer when the borders offer a riot of colour. The Vicarage also features a good sized heated swimming pool, now indoors and with changing rooms and showers. Behind is a further enclosure providing, an ideal small paddock. In all, we would estimate that the property extends to around an acre.
