Detached house for sale in Bradford BD4, 5 Bedroom

When we say one of A kind … we really mean it! Offered to market is this amazing five bedroom detached home - The Old Vicarage. A known landmark in Tong, this house is now being used as a sizable family home. With hundreds of years of history, starting life in the early 1700’s as the vicar’s lodgings, this house has stood the test of time and still retains many character features today. Its beauty is being preserved for future generations with it now being a Grade 2 listed building and the stone house strikes a lovely balance between character features and modern usability and is located fantastically within the village of tong. If you’re looking for your own slice of history, there is no other house for you.

Internally on the ground floor via the hallway is a large living room which is illuminated by several, original style windows on two walls looking out to the front and side aspect. The living room is spacious and like the rest of the property, it has retained its beautiful character charm and features; with a heavily beamed ceiling and gorgeous in-keeping cast iron fireplace! The ground floor flows very nicely and following on from the living room is another reception room/ snug, which could be used a number of different ways. This room looks out onto the rear aspect and also benefits a beautiful character brick hearth. There is a third reception room which is currently being used as a family dining room. The spacious kitchen/ diner is also a very well-proportioned room with solid wood units, a ‘Belfast’ style sink and french doors leading out onto the patio and private garden beyond. On the ground floor there is also a large utility room and a downstairs W.C. The character is kept and highlighted in every room in the house.

On the first floor the house has five bedrooms (four doubles and a well-proportioned single) The master bedroom, and bedroom two both have beautiful original fireplaces, and all bedrooms are very impressive in size. There are also three bathrooms on the first floor! Two are four-piece suites, which are in-keeping with the character of the house, and one is a contemporary shower room which also fits in nicely.

Rare for a property of this age, there is a rear private garden which has been landscaped by the current owners and is a real sun trap. Very private due to the surrounding (but not intruding) trees, this garden is perfect for entertaining and for family life. Even more uncommon is the private driveway with parking for at least three cars to be parked off street! There is also an integral garage for another car to be parked in, or to be used for storage … making this house both beautiful and practical. This house is absolutely one of a kind and a viewing is essential in order to appreciate the quality of this home. Every inch of this house has been loved and restored sympathetically and as such this house will not be on the market for long!
