A Rare Opportunity – The Former Vicarage, Burton Joyce
Offered with No Upward Chain

Steeped in history and rich in period character, this exceptional former vicarage—dating back to circa 1850—offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and elegant residence set within beautifully private grounds in the heart of Burton Joyce.

Lovingly cared for and sympathetically restored by the current owners over the past 40 years, The Old Vicarage is a magnificent example of Victorian architecture. Brimming with original features, the home showcases ornate cornicing, ceiling roses, deep skirtings, high ceilings, grand bay windows, and original sash windows—creating an atmosphere of timeless charm and understated grandeur. Importantly, the property is not listed, offering flexibility for future enhancements.

Tucked away at the end of a private road serving just four homes, the property sits proudly within approximately half an acre of wraparound gardens—a true sanctuary offering privacy, mature planting, and year-round colour. A detached two-storey brick-built Coach House offers exciting potential for conversion into additional accommodation or workspace (subject to the necessary consents).

Accommodation
The spacious and well-balanced layout begins with an entrance vestibule leading to an impressive central hallway with a sweeping staircase. The ground floor features four elegant reception rooms, each flooded with natural light and enjoying sash window views of the gardens. These include a formal drawing room, dining room, sitting room, and a day room—ideal for family living or entertaining in refined surroundings.

To the rear of the property, the kitchen and utility area offer functional family space, complemented by a pantry/store and a ground floor shower room with W.C.

Upstairs, the grand galleried landing provides access to six well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal suite includes a private en-suite bathroom, and a second bedroom also benefits from en-suite facilities. A family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, and a secondary staircase adds practicality and charm.

Grounds and Coach House
Set within secluded, landscaped gardens, the property is surrounded by mature yew hedging, sweeping lawns, and beautifully stocked borders. A standout feature is the stunning collection of Japanese maples, flowering wisteria, and established rose varieties, curated over decades by the current owners. These tranquil gardens offer both open areas and shaded retreats—perfect for entertaining or quiet contemplation.

To the front, a sweeping gravel driveway provides ample off-street parking. To the side, the detached two-storey Coach House remains ripe with potential—whether for guest accommodation, home office, or ancillary annexe use, subject to planning.
