Simply known as Vicarage, the property at Rowsley was previously called St Katherine’s Parsonage and dates back to 1858.

A perfect balance of historic charm and contemporary living, the house has retained its high ceilings, deep cornicing and architraves in a sympathetic renovation which has added modern touches such as intelligent lighting controls, underfloor heating and high specification finishes.

Vicarage, which is on the market for £1,425,000, has two reception rooms, playroom and study, a living kitchen and five en-suites serving each bedroom.

Shaker-style cabinetry is topped by marble worktops while an island features an inset sink and a breakfast bar for occasional seating. Integrated appliances include a four oven gas Aga, a dishwasher, a two-ring induction hob and a single electric oven. (Photo: Zoopla)
