£700,000

The Old Vicarage is an imposing and traditional Victorian gentleman’s residence, historically linked with Holy Trinity, Mossley and formerly the parsonage house until 1975.

Situated along Reades Lane in the picturesque Dane Valley, the property enjoys a highly desirable location close to a range of local amenities. These include the Golf Club directly opposite, Congleton Railway Station, shops, public houses, takeaways in nearby High Town, and the well-regarded Mossley Primary School—all within walking distance.

Built in1873, the house showcases classic Victorian architecture and retains an abundance of its original character features. The property offers an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to modernise and personalise the accommodation, and it has been priced to reflect the updating required.

Set within approximately 0.77 acre of established woodland gardens, the home is approached via a sweeping tarmac driveway leading from Reades Lane, passing to the side of the property and concluding at the garaging positioned at the rear.

The gas centrally heated accommodation is extensive and briefly comprises:

• Ground Floor: Porch, impressive reception hall with fireplace, study, drawing room, lounge, dining room, kitchen, swimming pool complex, and two garages, with utility area and outside washroom and W.C. There are also substantial cellars.
• First Floor: Accessed via the main staircase from the hall and an additional former servants’ staircase. There are six bedrooms, one with an ensuite, plus a family bathroom and separate W.C.
• Second Floor: Three attic rooms (formerly servants’ quarters) with access to the roof void, offering further potential for development if desired.

Externally, the grounds afford a high degree of privacy with mature trees, shrubs, and meandering pathways throughout the garden. The rear garden features a lawned area and a charming fish pond.

While the property does require updating, the scope to create a magnificent and unique family home is exceptional.
