Description
The Old Vicarage is a very special gentleman’s residence of considerable distinction and elegance, having been within its current ownership for 53 years, which stands as incredible testament to it as an amazing long term family home. It nestles within gated sheltered gardens, completely hidden from the main road, within historic Blakebrook: a Conservation Area renowned for its quality of property and located around 1 mile from Kidderminster town centre. Kidderminster is a large market town with a superb geographical location roughly equidistant between the cities of Birmingham (17 miles) and Worcester (15 miles).
The property was built C.1850, as the vicarage for St. John’s church on the Bewdley Road.

The former stable is ideal for garden equipment and the above loft makes a large hobbies room. An additional building contains a carport, a wood store and a separate storage area.
The property has 5 bedrooms and 4 reception rooms, and will surely delight lovers of fine period homes with high ceilings, large windows, and gracious room proportions, in a private and secluded position.
