A Grade II listed former vicarage set in the West Lancashire countryside is now on the market.
The period property, on Southport Road in Scarisbrick, is within its own picture postcard landscaped 2.5 acre gardens. The detached house has been owned by the same family over the last two decades, and has received loving attention to detail.
The attractive property also enjoys a great location, close to good schools and smart towns such as Ormskirk and Southport. It's a picture postcard property with a wrought iron gate, walled garden and charming outbuildings.
The main house, which has both scale and grace, boasts a formal dining room, five double bedrooms and a family sized bathroom. And there are classic country house details such as an original staircase, sash windows, cornicing, exquisite fireplaces and wood-panelled walls. It's the kind of place that could be the setting for one of Agatha Christie's famous Miss Marple detective stories.
Stunning photographs show a memorable house with bay windows, a gravel drive and classic English garden. The property is on sale through Arnold & Phillips for £950,000.
The brochure reads: "Old Vicarage is an escape from the ordinary, the ultimate rural hideaway, an elegant, beautifully preserved Grade II listed property with five bedrooms and over 3,500 square feet of sublime living space.
"This enchanting, country chic home, lovingly restored to an exquisite standard, is set in a truly magical location amongst 2.5 acres of pristine land and gardens.
"The current owners have enjoyed the property for nearly 20 years and have worked hard to preserve the heritage and soul of the house but have added softness and comfort to an extraordinary rural retreat."

"The interior of the home balances classic period style with pared-back pure aesthetic and the setting, attention to detail and beautiful finishes all combine to provide the perfect family home in the country, full of surprises and charm."
