With far-reaching views over the river Thames, the oldest parts of The Old Vicarage are believed to date from 1690, with later additions. This large country home, with separate cottage, tucked away in a private setting within glorious gardens and grounds with some wonderful mature trees, including Cedar of Lebanon which were planted before 1728 as they feature in a print of that date, and far-reaching views. Existing accommodation is over three floors, with a cellar and the main house comprises good living spaces with a grand reception hall, five reception rooms, kitchen / breakfast room, utility room and further domestic offices, an indoor swimming pool and cellar.
Upstairs there are eleven bedrooms and four bathrooms (see enclosed existing floorplans). There are approved planning permissions to either extend the existing house or to replace the existing house with a truly magnificent new build country mansion to the designs of award winning architects Des Ewing (under planning permissions P23/S1665/hh and P24/SO141/D) extending to in total approximately 15,578 square feet of accommodation.
The new design allows for superb entertaining and living space, and a most impressive leisure area with a large swimming pool with sauna, steam room and changing rooms, gym, games room, wine store, cinema and bar.
