Property Description
AGENTS NOTES Martin & Co Grantham are delighted to bring to the market this fabulous period home standing in a quintessentially English rural village setting. This fine former vicarage stands proudly in the lea of the church in the historic, highly sought after and unusually well served village of Long Clawson within the much sought after Vale of Belvoir..
Standing proudly on a notably generous plot thought to extend to around 0.85 acres/0.35 Hectares The Old Vicarage affords genuinely spacious, enviable accommodation arranged over three storeys. Of particular note are the 5/6 generous bedrooms, 3 bath or shower rooms (2 ensuite) 3 reception rooms, fully fitted study and a superb, open plan living dining kitchen. Externally owners enjoy generous established gardens to four sides. These are laid predominantly to lawn edged with borders stocked with a wealth of mature trees and flowering plants and shrubs (as well as for younger or young at heart family members a tree house).
The original property is understood to be Georgian dating from the first half of the 18th century with later 19th & 20th century additions. The property is of local significance being the former residence of the Vicars of the church of St Remigius. It has immense charm and character both inside and out, these important, hugely appealing facets being recognised by the property having been given Grade II Listed status.
From the moment you enter the property, in addition to the immense period charm and character, one cannot fail to be impressed by the space style and quality The Old Vicarage exudes. An unusually capacious hall introduces you to high ceilings, contemporary décor, period features enhanced by additional stylish modern fixtures, fittings and finishes which is repeated throughout the extensive accommodation.
Standing in the hugely sought after village of Long Clawson set in the picturesque Vale of Belvoir the property is a mere 20 minutes' drive to the beautiful Belvoir Castle the seat of The Duke of Rutland. Despite its rural setting the property is also only advantageously located being some 17 miles/30 minutes' drive to the town of Grantham. The LNER rail line from Grantham to London Kings Cross means that the Capital is less than an hour away by train. The Historic town of Melton Mowbray is around 7 miles/20 minutes' drive away. The Cities of Nottingham and Leicester are some 17 and 21 miles away respectively. Even East Midlands Airport is only around a 35 - 40 minute drive.
The village of Long Clawson is one of the most sought after in the already hugely popular Vale of Belvoir. This is due in no small part to its rural charm, convenient setting and also due to it being unusually well served. The village offers a primary school, village store, cafe, doctors' surgery, pharmacy, hairdressers and pub. The local area is also a renowned as a hub of quality food and agriculture. The village is home to Long Clawson dairy one of a limited number of cheesemakers with licence to produce (amongst many other cheeses) the protected designated origin (PDO) Stilton Cheese. Melton Mowbray is also the home of the special status of the famous Pork Pie of the same name which also has Protected Geographical Indication (PGI)status.
