Former Victorian vicarage run as an award winning B&B is up for sale


A charming former Victorian vicarage, which has been run as an award-winning, five star bed and breakfast business with restaurant, is new on the property market with agents Halls.

The Old Vicarage, Dolfor, near Newtown, which is owned by Tim and Helen Withers, has a price tag of £595,000. Whilst they are not selling the property as a going concern, they are happy to make their last three years’ accounts available to any potential purchasers who are seriously interested in continuing the business.

Built in around 1880, the property was sold by the church in 1963 and has been privately owned ever since. Retaining many beautiful period features, The Old Vicarage has been sympathetically modernised and the well laid out accommodation is both adaptable and spacious.

There are two formal reception rooms set either side of the entrance hall, both with high ceilings and attractive bay windows. There is a further snug/ study, large fitted kitchen with pantry and rear conservatory/sun room, as well as a wc on the ground floor and a useful cellar room. The first floor boasts five bedrooms, three of which are en-suite, and a family bathroom.

The current owners have improved the property by converting an old Coach House into additional annexe accommodation with an open plan kitchen/living and dining room, conservatory and bathroom on the ground floor and a double bedroom on the first floor.

There is also a laundry room on the ground floor, which is accessed externally and is used in conjunction with the main house. The Coach House has its own garden and parking area and is ideal for use by a family member or holiday let.

Generous gardens and grounds surround the property on all sides and are divided into lawned areas with a selection of mature trees forming the boundaries. Of particular note are the pair of Monkey Puzzle trees situated in the roundabout on the driveway.

The owners have recently made a wildlife pool with decked walkways and have established a polytunnel and raised beds for growing vegetables. Outbuildings comprise a garage, potting shed and original pig sty, together with a further garden store.

Situated in a rural location just two and half miles from Newtown, The Old Vicarage occupies an elevated position with commanding views over the surrounding countryside.

Viewing is by appointment with Halls, Welshpool on Tel: 01938 555552.
