The Old Vicarage, a stunning Grade II listed four bedroom County Durham property with a fabulous orangery and exceptional views across to Teesdale and North Yorkshire, has come to market for £875,000.
The property, in the pretty village of Bolam which has been designated a Conservation Area, features three reception rooms, a walled garden and single storey detached cottage which could be developed as an office or home gym.
The current owners renovated the Old Vicarage in 2020, maintaining the 16th century period features that include a return staircase and stone arch fireplace with original brick built bread oven.
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.
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.
The first floor features a master bedroom with views over the garden and surrounding countryside, connected to a dressing room with floor to ceiling hand built cupboards and an impressive en suite. There are also three additional bedrooms and a house bathroom.
Previously used as an annexe, the cottage has been turned into a multi-functional space housing a dog shower, WC and separate room for a potential home office or gym. The building could be returned to a fully functioning cottage.
The beautifully maintained private walled rear garden, extending to approximately 0.4 acres, has lawned areas, abundant mature trees, a timber greenhouse and a stone built potting shed and tractor store.
The village of Bolam is 3 miles from Bishop Auckland with Darlington 8 miles away offering access to the East coast rail line to Edinburgh, Newcastle and London while Durham Teesside Airport is about 16 miles away.
The Old Vicarage is on the market through GSC Grays Barnard Castle office with a guide price of £875,000. Tel: 01833 637000.
