Steeped in history, heritage combines with comfort, flair and finesse at The Old Vicarage, an imposing home with warmth and welcome, in the beautiful village of Ancaster. Prestigious Arrival A sense of timeless grandeur greets you upon arrival at The Old Vicarage, an enchanting, Grade II listed home, where a broad gravel driveway curves gracefully towards an elegant, symmetrical facade. Stately sash windows and an elegant entrance porch alongside the tall chimney stacks create the perfect image of old England, encapsulating the grandeur awaiting within. Luxury Reimagined Recently renovated, whilst retaining its original character and charm, sophistication emanates from the high-quality furnishings and fittings seen throughout The Old Vicarage, whose graceful façade is met by warmth and welcome in the honey-toned oak flooring and soft grey panelling of the entrance hall. A home designed for hosting and entertaining, the spacious kitchen balances traditional Shaker-style cabinetry with modern shades of grey, iridescent black granite worktops and an array of contemporary appliances including a handy wine fridge within the solid wood-topped, sociable breakfast bar peninsula. Wine And Dine For special occasions and formal feasting, the spectacular dining room, with its grand proportions and large, shuttered sash windows framing views over the garden, is made for family celebrations, with its roaring open fire and wedding cake tiered coving embellishing the high ceiling above. Relax And Unwind Throughout The Old Vicarage, shimmering shades of silver, opulent chandeliers, and panelled walls pay homage to its heritage. From lively birthday gatherings in the garden room, where the indoors and outdoors f low seamlessly together, to quiet family evenings by the fire in the cosy snug, this home offers spaces for every occasion. Relish peaceful moments in the drawing room, where the spectacular bow window frames stunning views and bathes the room in afternoon sun. The Old Vicarage is thoughtfully designed, offering spaces to converge for conversations and games, as well as quiet places in which to retreat with a good book. Practical Places Balancing aesthetic allure with practicality, on the ground floor you can also find a modern shower room, a substantially sized laundry room with its original quarry tiled floor, brimming with storage and, on the lower ground floor, a spacious cellar ideal for storage or perhaps, further development. Soak And Sleep Sanctuary awaits in the principal suite, tucked away on the first floor. Sunlight streams through large sash windows, offering enchanting views of the garden and countryside beyond. Accessed through a private dressing room, the spacious en suite is bathed in natural light and includes fitted storage for added convenience. One of five generously sized bedrooms on this floor, the principal suite is joined by four bountiful bedrooms, some with built-in storage. Decorated in heritage patterns and colours throughout, one bedroom enjoys its own en suite shower room, while two large bathrooms serve the remaining rooms. Room For All On the upper floor, two additional, spacious bedrooms offer exceptional versatility - ideal for use as offices, guest suites, or hobby rooms. Glorious Gardens Outside, extending over 1.25 acres, the garden at The Old Vicarage invites adventure and exploration. Rich in history, this remarkable home stands on land with Roman roots—once the site of an ancient Roman altar, now preserved in Lincoln Museum. A home with a rich Roman heritage, The Old Vicarage is situated across from protected fields, grazed by horses, which are part of the Roman Trail. Bask in the sun on the terrace, with space to add a hot tub or swim spa to enjoy a refreshing dip in the summer, or perfect your serve on the private tennis court. Brimming with potential, the old coach house, with its original troughs and cobbled floor, stirs the imagination. Previously granted planning permission for a two-bedroom annexe (now expired), it holds exciting possibilities for guest accommodation, a gym perhaps or other leisure pursuit.
