A striking detached Victorian home with six bedrooms set in sought-after village setting.

Description

Originally constructed in the 1700s, The Rectory is a striking red brick property which has been thoughtfully extended and improved over the years to create an impressive family home whilst retaining much of its period charm. The house was once home to the vicar of Partney and enjoys an abundance of character including original fireplaces, deep bay windows and original patterned tiles. The ceiling heights combined with the bright, mostly neutral interiors and large windows, make the property feel exceptionally light and bright. The substantial accommodation is set across two floors and extends to more than 3600 sq ft, with multiple reception rooms making it an excellent choice for families, with ample space for both formal entertaining and informal family occasions. The grounds are also particularly of note, extending about half an acre and include a range of outbuildings which have excellent potential for development and renovation (subject to obtaining the necessary consents).

The ground floor accommodation is accessed via a grand and imposing entrance hall with WC leading through to a double-aspect drawing room with large bay window and wood-burning stove, sitting room and dining room with two sets of French doors providing an abundance of natural light. From here is the fully fitted kitchen with pantry, useful boot room and adjacent utility room. Upstairs there is a principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom and has wonderful views across the rear gardens, a further equally spacious bedroom with walk-in dressing room, four additional bedrooms and a family bathroom with bathtub and large walk-in mixer shower.

The Rectory occupies a generous plot and is well screened from the road by brick walls and mature shrubs with a sizeable gravel driveway providing off-street parking for a number of vehicles. The south-facing wrap-around rear garden is well stocked with mature trees and shrubs interspersed throughout the lawn.
