Garage/annexe building offers potential for residential development, subject to planning.
Believed to date to the early 18th century, with later enhancements, The Old Vicarage offers an elegant living environment with charming period features, including sash-windows with panelled shutters, vintage fireplaces, wall panelling, ornate cornicing and exposed rustic beams. The house is nestled in enchanting grounds adding a great sense of calm and tranquillity, with an annexe, garaging and stables.
Reception rooms comprise a relaxed drawing room with an open fireplace, and an adjacent sitting room with a wood-burning stove. The study provides a flexible-use space, with a stairway leading down to a fascinating cellar with the original baking oven of the former parish bakery.
A charming dining room with wood-burner adjoins the kitchen. With exposed timbers and ledge and brace doors, together with a traditional shelved pantry and utility room, the kitchen is fitted with modern base level cabinetry topped by wooden work-surfaces. The bright conservatory has double doors connecting the inside to the outside and, along with a useful shower room, completes the ground floor facilities.
Two staircases rise to the first floor, where the principal bedroom provides a calming retreat with a decorative fireplace and adjoining dressing room. There are four further bedrooms on the upper level, two featuring ornate fireplaces, along with two family bathrooms. Supplemental accommodation is available in the studio above the double garage and the adjoining annexe space.<br /><br />The garden at The Old Vicarage offers an enchanting outdoor sanctuary with the backdrop of farmland. Attractive garden features include paved walkways between geometric planted beds, swathes of lawn interspersed with mature and specimen trees, an arbour with climbing roses, grouped trees creating spaces to sit in dappled shade and spots throughout the grounds for garden benches to enjoy the sunshine.
A brick wall at the property’s frontage has pillars marking the entrance onto a gravelled driveway, which provides parking and leads to a substantial building housing the garaging, annexe with studio above and adjoining stables which are used as good functional workshops. There is also a useful potting shed. A pedestrian access provides a route to the front entrance door via a series of steps with gardens to either side containing mature shrubs.
The outbuilding is large and well-sited and could offer potential for residential development, subject to any necessary consents.<br /><br />The village of East Langdon is surrounded by farmland and open countryside with local amenities including a primary school, a parish hall hosting clubs and events and recreation fields.
The nearby sheltered shingle beach at St Margaret’s Bay has a popular cafe and an inn, with the village centre offering a convenience store, a post office, several public houses and cafes and a medical surgery.
For commuters there are services from Martin Mill and Dover Priory, whilst road users are within easy reach of the A2 for journeys to the Cathedral City of Canterbury which offer a comprehensive range of shopping, recreational, cultural and educational amenities. The area has good access to the Continent.
