An incredibly exciting and rare opportunity to purchase a late Victorian stone built detached residence with a wealth of characterful original features still intact. Providing five well proportioned bedrooms, three unusually large reception rooms, generous private driveway parking suitable for multiple vehicles, delightful enclosed level gardens, and so much more. Properties of this size and calibre nearby to Sutton-in-Craven's local amenities, do not become available to the open market regularly.

More than a century old The Vicarage is steeped in history, having served as housing to local vicars for many years. Stepping inside, prospective purchasers' imagination will surely run wild with potential re-designs of the ornate accommodation, which now requires a scheme of comprehensive modernisation throughout. This beautiful property could be transformed into a highly desirable individual trophy home or alternatively multiple apartments providing an excellent passive income, subject to any necessary planning approval.

Measuring at over 2,800 square feet of living space, including a mixture of double glazing and single glazing, original architraves, gas central heating, and a detached garage, this enticing project comprises very briefly:

An entrance vestibule. A grand reception hall. A large bay fronted living room. Spacious sitting room. Formal dining room. A dining kitchen. A study. Cloaks room. Downstairs WC. Downstairs shower room. Rear entrance hall with access to the basement. The basement currently provides a spacious pantry together with a wine cellar and boiler room. On the first floor there are five well proportioned bedrooms. A dressing room. Landing and half landing. Bathroom with a two piece suite. Separate WC. Outside offers a substantial private driveway for multiple vehicles. Front garden having lawn with mature trees and evergreen borders. Enclosed walled rear garden enjoying a level lawn, mature trees, and greenhouse. Detached garage adjoining the garden wall on one side.

The community of Sutton-in-Craven enjoys a variety of shops and other amenities including two primary schools, a chemist, an off licence/village store, two public houses and a cricket club. In the centre of the village there is a superb park/playing field and the local area is blessed with many delightful walks alongside the beck and through the surrounding picturesque countryside and woodland. The neighbouring village of Cross Hills offers a wider selection of everyday shops and other amenities including Cooperative Food and Spar grocery stores, a butchers, a health centre, several restaurants and also the popular South Craven Secondary School. There is a bus service to the towns of Skipton and Keighley and there are railway stations in the nearby villages of Steeton and Cononley providing regular daily services into Leeds and Bradford.
