The Property

Set within 2.5 acres, affording beautiful views of the picturesque golden valley, lies this Grade II Listed family home. Now forming a wing to what was formerly the Vicarage, Old Glebe House exhibits immense history. Extended in the mid-18th century by the well-known architect GF Bodley, the property enjoys many features consistent with the Gothic Revival period for which he known. Old Glebe house enjoys a superb position, nestled in Old Bussage. Not only does this fabulous home provide privacy, but it also offers ease of access to a variety of village facilities, including shops, schools and the local pub. The current owners have made sympathetic improvements during their ownership, which will undoubtedly appeal to the modern buyer. The original vestibule to the Vicarage forms the main entrance to the property, where an arched entrance and tiled floor make an impressive first impression, this in turn leads to an inner hallway, off which doors open to the living space and a staircase rises to the first floor. A further stone staircase leads down to the cellar. The connecting reception rooms extend to the south and west elevation. Both rooms offer great appeal boasting tall ceilings, a stone fireplace with woodburning stove inset and original windows with shutters. Exposed floorboards flow throughout. A door from the formal dining room/snug opens to the adjoining kitchen. Modernised by the current owners, the kitchen has been fitted with hand built in-frame cupboards, a granite worktop and a Belfast sink. There is an integrated dishwasher and space for a range cooker. Modern flagstone tiles further add to the rooms charm. As seen in the photos, there is plentiful room for dining. An external door leads onto a large stone terrace, with a further internal door opening to a rear boot room/utility area with a cloakroom and larder store. An elegant staircase from the hall leads to the first floor, where three bedrooms are positioned. The main bedroom enjoys a westerly aspect across the gardens, grounds and wooded valley. This is served by a recently remodelled ensuite shower room with a large walk-in shower. A family bathroom with bath and separate shower cubicle serves the remaining bedrooms. Whilst all afford differing features, bedroom two is particularly impressive, owing to its generous proportions, double aspect and beautiful period fireplace. A staircase from the landing offers access to the second floor, where an attic bedroom and attic room are located. Currently used as guest accommodation, the space lends itself for use as a teenage den or children’s bedroom with study area. The area enjoys some bespoke open shelving.
