Former vicarage on Holbeach Road, Spalding on the market for £795,000

This striking gothic revival property with a stunning backdrop and large garden, has just come on the market.

The former vicarage on Holbeach Road, Spalding, offers elegance and sophistication and has been subject to an extensive restoration project.

Located on the edge of town, the property retains period features and offers lots of space — with six bedrooms and 0.59 acres of mature gardens which surround the house.

The Gilbert Scott listed home, together with the neighbouring St Paul’s church, was built in about 1880 with elaborate gables and tall chimneys.

Sir Giles Gilbert Scott was amongst the most famous architects of the Victorian era and leader of the Gothic Revival.

Among his work are the Albert Memorial, the Foreign Office and the iconic Midland Grand Hotel at St Pancras Station in London. He also designed the red public phone box.

Inside the property, the inviting reception hall has an original Minton tiled floor and imposing staircase.

There are three reception rooms which include a dual-aspect drawing room with a tiled fireplace and window bay, a sitting room with access to the garden and an elegant oak floored dining room.

A spacious kitchen also includes a pantry, butlers pantry and connects to a boot room and storage cupboard. There is also a study on the ground floor.

The first floor has four of the six bedrooms and a family bathroom – which provide attractive views of the gardens and church.

A further two spacious bedrooms and a second family bathroom are located on the second floor. There is also access to the vast loft space, which is partially boarded for storage.

The extensive gardens offer a delightful haven with a variety of established flowers and shrub borders.

At the front of the property there is a large gravel driveway which leads through the manicured front gardens and past the house to a generous turning circle with a parking area for vehicles.

There is also access to the single garage.

The walled garden has a large terrace, ideal for entertaining and a brick-built outbuilding for garden storage, whilst a vintage red phone box is on of Sir Gilbert Scott’s designs.

Viewing for this property is highly recommended to appreciate everything it has to offer.

It is on the market with Savillis for £795,000. For more information call the agent on 01780 484696.
