A LISTED building at the heart of a Tynedale village, and important to its community for generations, the Old Vicarage is now a fabulous family home.

It has three reception rooms, five bedrooms, a cellar and a two-storey annex that was formerly servant’s quarters but is now used as storage although it could be converted to a home for relatives or incorporated into the main house.

The Old Vicarage, which is in the quiet village of Otterburn, also has lovely private gardens and a garage.

The current owners have updated their home while retaining character features such as moulded plaster cornices, architrave, exposed floorboards, cast iron fireplaces and working fires, high ceilings and sash windows.

The main reception areas and main bedrooms are flooded with natural light through double-height bay windows.

A substantial wooden front door is flanked by stone columns and the central hallway gives access to sitting room, dining room, snug, bespoke kitchen and breakfast room.

Off the kitchen is utility room with additional sink and storage cupboards, and a small cellar is accessed from here.

Upstairs the master bedroom has built-in wardrobes, likewise a guest bedroom and a fifth bedroom is currently used as a study.

The Old Vicarage, Otterburn, is for sale at £595,000 from Finest Properties, tel. 01434 622234.
