The property
The Old Vicarage offers an exciting opportunity for a new purchaser to live on the rural outskirts of Oswestry in the vibrant village of Llansilin. Believed to date from 1792 the property was reputedly altered by Rev. Walter Jones in the mid nineteenth century. Since being sold by the diocese in the late twentieth century The Old Vicarage remains an imposing and majestic period country offering immense opportunity for a new owner. Beautifully situated in an elevated position the staggering rural valley views are awe inspiring and enjoyed from the grounds to the fore.
Period features and architectural details provide immense interest and character both internally and externally. Internally these details include hand turned staircase, panelled doors, window shutters, deep craved skirting boards and architraves and quarry tiled floors. Externally a rendered symmetrical façade, mullion windows, decorative angular chimneys and a slate tiled roof create an impressive and charming exterior. The wide front door opens to the formal front hall with the staircase rising upwards. Five gracious reception rooms all enjoying good proportions and tall mullion windows are to the ground floor. These offer flexible accommodation for both entertaining and family living. The drawing room is a room of poise and elegance with original shutters and a high ceiling. To the rear of The Old Vicarage is the kitchen and utility room with quarry tiled floor and door to the rear. Five double bedrooms, two with en suite shower rooms, bathroom and further shower room radiate off the landing and all the bedrooms benefit from inspiring views across the gardens.
