The Old Rectory is screened from the village by an attractive high brick and flint wall and is accessed by wrought-iron electric gates. There is a large gravelled driveway in front of the house providing plenty of parking.
The gardens and grounds at The Old Rectory are fully mature and extend to approximately 11 acres. The gardens surrounding the house itself are beautifully designed and maintained, with smartly clipped lawns, mature flower borders and specimen planting. Of particular delight, at the back of the house is a generous York stone terrace interspersed with flowering shrubs and plants. This terrace is accessed easily from the orangery/garden room. To the side of the house there is a large flat lawn often used as a croquet lawn, which rises via beautiful stone steps towards the terrace and swimming pool. There is a beautiful swimming pool garden enclosed by mellow brick walls and decorated with mature fig trees and on the pool house itself, a fully mature wisteria. The pool house is a fantastic and versatile space, currently used as a garden room, office and temperature controlled wine cellar, in addition to the changing rooms, shower, WC and small kitchen area. The tennis court and vegetable garden are tucked away out of sight of the main house. As the gardens move away from The Old Rectory itself they seamlessly merge into mature parkland and offer a delightful rural outlook from this beautiful central village location. There is an additional entrance to the property, distinct from the main gates, providing easy agricultural and staff access away from the main drive and parking area. Agent’s Note: Part of the parkland will be subject to overage provisions. Please ask the agents for more details before making an offer on the property.
