- An Old Vicarage has been given a new lease of life following an extensive 18-month renovation.
The impressive seven-bedroom property is in a conservation area in Calverdon, Warwickshire, and is on the market via estate agents Yopa for £1.95million.
The exact date that the Old Vicarage was built is unknown. However, the architecture suggests three main construction phases, including the original Georgian part and a later Victorian extension - believed to be around 1865 - that almost doubled the size of the house.
