FOR SALE: WELL-KNOWN BRIGG PROPERTY LIKELY TO ATTRACT PLENTY OF INTEREST


Brigg Vicarage is now being offered for sale on the property market with plenty of interest expected to be shown.
This sizeable and desirable detached residence on Glanford Road, with extensive gardens, has provided accommodation for a number of town-based vicars over the years.
The guide price for the four-bed property is £375,000. It is described in sale particulars we've seen as "a former Vicarage." (Note the word 'former').
Fine & Country are the agents handling the sale. View full details here...
At its latest meeting, Brigg Town Council agreed to write to the Church of England's Lincoln Diocese to inquire about the appointment of a new vicar for Brigg in succession to Father Owain Mitchell, who left St John's some time ago to run a parish in the Peak District.
This meeting also heard a suggestion that church authorities intended to sell the Vicarage.
The fact that the vicar's home is now up for sale will prompt further questions about whether a replacement is going to be appointed by the authorities.
In addition to his duties in Brigg, the town-based vicar has, in recent years, also looked after the spiritual needs of people living in Wrawby, Cadney & Howsham, Bonby and Worlaby.
