Situation

The Old Vicarage is situated in the ever-popular village of Castle Bytham which is a
delightful South Lincolnshire conservation village. There are a number of local
amenities within the village to include two well established Public Houses; St. James’
Church believed to date back to Norman times; the Bythams Community Shop; a
useful Doctors Surgery and Bus Service further connecting the village to the
surrounding villages and towns.

The market towns of Stamford, Oakham and Bourne are all within a convenient
distance and provide a broader range of shopping opportunities and amenities whilst
the Cathedral city of Peterborough and the town of Grantham, offer yet more interest
and opportunity.

The Old Vicarage is well placed for convenient access to both private and state
schooling with the well-regarded Witham Hall Prep School but four miles away. Bourne
Grammar is nearby and Stamford, Oakham, Uppingham and Oundle are all within a
reasonable driving distance.

Castle Bytham sits in picturesque rolling countryside yet is minutes from the
region’s arterial road network. The A1 is 4 miles to the west and allows the
commuter very easy access north to Grantham, some 15 miles away and south,
to Peterborough, some 25 miles. Both Grantham and Peterborough have main
line railway stations with frequent fast trains providing options north and south.
There are local train services also afforded from Stamford and Spalding.

Leisure facilities in the area are numerous and include popular golf courses such
as Stoke Rochford, Greetham Valley, Luffenham Heath and Toft, whereas nearby
Rutland Water caters for cycling, fishing, water sports and countryside walks.

Description

The Old Vicarage is a fine example of Victorian architecture with elegant
proportions complimented by an abundance of period features throughout the
spacious interior. The property is entered through a handsome entrance hall
into the equally impressive reception hall.

The drawing room is a delightful space, flooded with light from the floor to
ceiling windows and double bay doors into the garden. The formal dining room
can be accessed from the reception hall but also the breakfast kitchen, which
has a range of units, granite worktop, oil-fired AGA and space for additional
appliances and ample room for informal dining. The kitchen has a door to the
outside courtyard, a door to the reception hall and access into the utility room
which gives internal entry to the indoor swimming pool. Further accommodation
to the ground floor includes a spacious study and a cloakroom with WC.

Stairs gracefully ascend from the reception hall to the first floor which benefits
from an attractive roof lantern, flooding the landing with light. The traditional
Victorian proportions continue into the well balanced bedroom
accommodation. The principal bedroom has delightful views over the rear
garden and an ensuite bathroom. There is another double bedroom benefitting
from an enuite shower room, and two additional double bedrooms which share
the family bathroom, one of which has a lovely dual aspect and fitted
wardrobes. The fifth bedroom is a guest suite with shower room and a
dressing/living area which could be divided easily to create another bedroom.

SWIMMING POOL

The current owners extended The Old Vicarage to include an impressive indoor
swimming pool, complete with hot tub and shower room/changing room. The
building was built in local stone and sympathetically compliments the
property’s traditional aesthetic. Double doors lead out onto a patio and into
the garden so that the swimming pool can be enjoyed throughout the year.

ANNEXE

The annexe has been lovingly converted by the current owners, accessed from
the courtyard the accommodation includes a kitchen, downstairs shower room,
and spacious sitting room with door to the outside. To the first floor is a double
bedroom with airing cupboard and built-in wardrobe.





OUTSIDE

The Old Vicarage benefits from dual driveways leading to the partially cobbled
courtyard between the Old Vicarage and the annexe, which offers a relaxing space
to sit. Further to this area is another store and gated walkway to the double garage.

dappled shade amidst sunnier areas. There is a vegetable garden and other
established planting which compliments the grounds of just under 1.5 acres.
