3 Situation and Amenities Barton is an attractive village, conveniently located between the WEST PASTURE FARM towns of Richmond and Darlington. A thriving village with popular pub, primary school, church, village hall, village shop and regular MICKLETON bus service. Richmond is within close proximity, with the larger towns of Darlington, Middlesbrough and Durham within easy driving distance. The village has excellent links to both the A1 (M) and A66 trans-pennine routes, bringing many larger cities within easily commutable distances. The village lies in an attractive rural area, making it an ideal base from which to explore the Yorkshire Dales, Teesdale and the North Yorkshire Moors. Educational opportunities (both comprehensive and private) can be found at Richmond, Barnard Castle, Darlington and Yarm. Golf courses can be found at Richmond, Barnard Castle, Darlington and Headlam Hall. The Old Vicarage The Old Vicarage is a handsome property and a real gem of the sort that are rarely available. This fine home sits in the middle of a substantial plot, ensuring that there are lovely views from all rooms over the various parts of the walled gardens and to the farmland which it adjoins to the rear. The accommodation is versatile and full of charming features of a Georgian influence, including fireplaces in many rooms, shuttered windows and a cellar. The property is in need of some modernisation and offers the opportunity for a potential purchaser to put their individual stamp on this charming property. Accommodation Stone steps with a wrought iron handrail lead into a spacious entrance porch; leading in turn through to a large reception hall which is the central point of this home, with a period fireplace, shuttered window and seat overlooking the front gardens. From here there is direct access to the sitting room and study and an archway leading through to a rear hall with access to the dining room, kitchen and the staircase to the first floor. The sitting room overlooks the front garden from a double window, with a wooden fireplace surround with tiled inset and hearth and open grate. The study has a cosy feel about it with a marble fireplace surround with tiled inset and hearth with open grate and again with views over the rear gardens to the farmland beyond. The dining room is dual aspect with windows overlooking the side and rear gardens. The kitchen, which is in need of updating, has a stone fireplace surround housing a Rayburn. Both the cellar and a spacious utility room with ground floor cloaks/wc are accessed from the kitchen. The utility room opens out into an enclosed courtyard area. The elegant staircase leads to a half landing which then splits further to two first floor landings. The main landing provides access to four bedrooms and the second landing provides access to a fifth bedroom, family bathroom and separate w.c. All the bedrooms have views over the gardens. The box room may lend itself to being converted to an en-suite in the future, subject to the necessary consents.

4 Externally A gravelled driveway leads into the walled front gardens, which are laid to lawn with shrub borders and mature trees including Silver Birch and a Yew tree. A pedestrian pathway meanders through to the rear garden, which is mainly laid to lawn with views over open farmland beyond the boundary. Following the tour around from the rear garden, there is access into a substantial walled kitchen garden with a wrought iron gate leading back into the courtyard between the main house and the two storey stable block. The stable block is two storeys, accessed via ladder and is currently used as a garage and garden store. Tenure The property is believed to be freehold with vacant possession upon completion.
