5 bedroom detached house for sale

The Old Rectory, which we believe dates from about 1830, with later additions, has been beautifully refurbished by the current owners and is presented to an exceptionally high standard. The main house offers spacious and well-proportioned accommodation over two floors, and an additional basement which is currently used for storage, but suitable for conversion (subject to any necessary permissions).

Adjoining the house is the annexe, with its own private entrance, gardens and parking, is totally separate but can remain integral to the house if needed. The current owners wanted to achieve greater flexibility and sharing of space between the annexe and the main house, so knocked through to connect the annexe on the first floor. This has created an inter-connecting bedroom, which adapts to a third bedroom in the annexe as and when needed.

The Old Rectory is approached through a lovely entrance vestibule with an entrance hall, complete with Victorian tiled floor. The main sitting room is double length and triple aspect, with floor to ceiling sash windows and a large bay window to one side. There is a wood burning stove set in a recess.

In addition, is a study and a large sunroom with double doors to the garden. The kitchen/dining/living is the centre piece of this fabulous family home and is fitted with an oil-fired AGA and electric range.

There is an interconnecting door to the annexe on both this level and on the ground floor. The main bedroom has a walk in wardrobe and superb en suite bathroom, with roll-top bath and large walk in shower with twin shower heads.
