The Old Rectory is a classic, non listed former rectory enjoying a secluded and tranquil setting, bordering St Mary’s church in the heart of the village. The house, with its handsome, white brick elevations and deep sash windows, offers light and elegantly presented accommodation with the majority of the rooms enjoying views across the gardens and surrounding countryside. Entrance and inner halls access a delightful drawing room with its curved bay window and an equally well-proportioned and atmospheric dining room. In addition to a galley kitchen, there is a large pantry and sitting room, whilst an impressive, glazed roofed living room links from the kitchen to access a study and utility room, as well as the spacious coach house conversion. This includes an open plan first floor annexe flat, ideal for guest accommodation or for use as an at-home office, together with a ground floor bathroom and access to a balcony.
On the first floor of the main house there are four double bedrooms and two bathrooms set off a central landing.
The house benefits from an oil-fired central heating system and is completed with a basement and wine cellar and in all extends to some 3,500 sq ft.
OUTSIDE
The Old Rectory has an appealing approach, being screened from its gateway and not immediately visible upon entry. The shingled drive sweeps to a parking and turning courtyard to the rear of the house fronting on to the coach house garage, and workshop. In addition, there are further timber gardening and equipment stores.
GARDENS & GROUNDS
The Old Rectory sits amidst delightfully mature, sheltering and screening gardens and grounds which border St Mary’s Church. Paved terraces to the southeast and east of the house are linked and are ideal for alfresco dining. The gardens are sheltered by mature trees and hedgerow and have well cared for lawns, interspersed with colorful herbaceous beds and borders. Beyond wrought iron estate fencing is _____ acres of meadow garden enclosed by maturing trees.
In all the property extends to about 3 acres.
LOCATION
Just as The Old Rectory is beautifully tucked away within the village, Newbourne itself is also nicely tucked away amidst the country lanes that run between Woodbridge and Felixstowe. There is an active local community with a thriving village pub, Nourish Café and a plant nursery, whilst a network of footpaths lead to the neighbouring riverside villages Waldringfield and Hemley, the former providing access to the beautiful River Deben for those with boating interests.
Both the county town of Ipswich and the popular riverside town of Woodbridge are easily accessible lying some 7 and 6 miles to the west and north respectively with a full range of shopping and commercial facilities on their close peripheries. Educationally there is a wide choice of top performing schools in both the state and independent sectors and the region’s road and rail networks provide direct access to London, Stansted airport as well as Cambridge and The Midlands.
Branch and main line rail services run regularly from both Woodbridge and Ipswich to London’s Liverpool Station.
