The Old Vicarage is a recently restored, spacious Victorian vicarage built in the Gothic Revival style. It is set in a quiet corner of the hill top village of Malborough, 2 miles from the sea at Salcombe in South Devon.

The well appointed Old Vicarage is adjacent to the church and all the principal rooms, which are at the rear of the property, have views down the valley and to the headland beyond. The property has recently undergone a total and thorough refurbishment and is an ideal venue for holding a wedding celebration, corporate event or special family gathering on an exclusive use basis.

Location

Malborough is dominated by All Saints Church, a landmark which can be seen for many miles around. (If anybody is lost and wants to get back to the Old Vicarage they only have to head for the church and the house is adjacent!) The village is more tranquil than Salcombe and Kingsbridge and has its own character with many thatched cottages and old houses. There is a post office, 2 public houses, the Lodge Hotel and a garage petrol station with a small supermarket all of which are within a few hundred metres of the Old Vicarage. Malborough is 1 hour drive west of Exeter and 25 minutes from the A38. There are main line stations at Totnes or Plymouth and airports at Exeter and Bristol.
