About this property
The Old Vicarage, Wilmcote – A Distinguished Grade II Listed Village Residence
Set discreetly within the heart of the historic village of Wilmcote, The Old Vicarage is a beautifully refurbished Grade II listed residence that forms a significant part of the village’s architectural heritage and identity. Combining remarkable period character with thoughtful modern restoration, this exceptional home offers a rare opportunity to own a landmark property in a peaceful countryside setting.
Behind its charming faade, the house reveals an array of striking original features that celebrate its rich history. Elegant lancet windows, external Gothic oak plank doors, and characterful window pews reflect the building’s historic craftsmanship. A particularly unique highlight is the atmospheric internal chapel, featuring a magnificent feature window alongside two stunning stained glass windows, creating a truly memorable architectural space.
The accommodation is both generous and versatile, arranged across spacious and beautifully restored interiors. The property offers six well proportioned bedrooms and three bathrooms, complemented by two large reception rooms ideal for both family living and entertaining. A welcoming kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home, alongside a separate formal dining room, a private office, and useful cellar.
With its generous floor area, versatile layout and sizeable plot, the property offers excellent potential for entrepreneurs seeking space for a home-based business or alternative commercial opportunities, subject to the necessary permissions. The house itself is exceptionally spacious, providing extensive and flexible accommodation particularly suited to multi-generational living. Furthermore, two separate loft access points lead to boarded loft spaces, presenting exciting potential for conversion into additional living accommodation, also subject to the necessary permissions.
Externally, The Old Vicarage enjoys a beautiful and tranquil setting with open field views. The private gardens have been thoughtfully zoned to create a variety of spaces suited to different occasions and moods, from quiet relaxation to outdoor entertaining. Ample parking is available, together with a detached double garage.
Despite its sense of seclusion, the property sits within the charming and well connected village of Wilmcote, famously the home of Shakespeare’s mother, Mary Arden. The village offers a strong community atmosphere and excellent local amenities including a traditional pub, village shop and post office, primary school with nursery, secure dog walking fields, doggy day care, and a railway station providing convenient links to Stratford-upon-Avon, Leamington Spa, Birmingham, and London. The historic market town of Stratford-upon-Avon lies just three miles away.
