Description

This historic residence, known as The Old Vicarage, offers a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a property rich in character and potential. Built around 1834 and originally serving the Iron Church of Bushbury, this home has seen thoughtful extensions over the years that enhance its grandeur and architectural significance. It has been owned by only three families since it ceased operating as a vicarage in 1932, preserving many of its distinctive historic features, including an original king chimney pot. The property's grounds house an intriguing outbuilding that once served as a distribution point for coal and goods—an element that can inspire various functional uses. Additionally, the traditional well now serves as a charming study or playroom. Inside, recent extensive renovations have transformed the interior with modern amenities while maintaining its historical charm; this back-to-brick upgrade utilized premium materials to create a high standard of living. Accommodation includes an entrance hallway, lounge, utility/boiler room, guest WC, and an open-plan kitchen leading into a dining and family area. The first floor features a spacious bathroom alongside four double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes in several rooms. Outside, the property boasts a double garage that could be adapted for additional parking or access to expand the plot further. The expansive garden presents substantial possibilities—whether remaining as a beautiful outdoor space or being developed further under appropriate planning permissions. Located near essential amenities and excellent transport links within the West Midlands region, this property is not only a comfortable home but also an attractive investment opportunity waiting to be fully realized.
