A restored and modernised Grade II listed house in the Peak District is up for sale on the open market for only the second time since the 1700s.
The Old Vicarage, on Church Street in Youlgreave near Bakewell, has six bedrooms and comes with a one-bedroom holiday barn.
It has been refurbished throughout, but retains many original features – inside there is a large drawing room with triple sash windows leading out onto the south-facing garden, a formal dining room with a wood burning stove, a sizeable breakfast kitchen and a wine cellar with a barrel-vaulted ceiling.
The substantial garden is split into separate areas and includes a vegetable garden with raised beds, as well as views that extend for miles into the distance.
“Not often does this unique opportunity arise to buy a sympathetically restored and modernised Grade II listed property, centrally located in the beautiful village of Youlgreave with all the village amenities that any purchaser could require,” says Blenheim Park Estates, the estate agent handling the sale.
