Found beyond the pillared entrance Old Rectory House faces almost due south and has a most attractive facade, with partly dressed flintstone with small pane windows and part smooth rendered with square trellis supporting a mature climbing hydrangea, roses and jasmine. The core of the house is believed to date back several hundred years and exhibits a beautifully preserved cross beam ceiling in the sitting room and was later added to and remodelled to create a seven bedroomed family home.
The reception hall with limestone tiled floor has an elegant turning staircase and doors leading to the dining room, which has a fireplace with cut stone mantelpiece and an inset woodburning stove, French doors and further door leading out into the gardens. On the other side of the hall the sitting room has a handsome Minster fireplace, cross beamed ceiling and windows overlooking the gardens. A door leads from the sitting room into the kitchen/breakfast room, which is the centre of the house with large inglenook fireplace with inset oil fired four oven AGA, large central island with granite work surface with ample cupboards below. There is a further run of cabinets with inset double china sink, cooking hob, oven and has a window and French door out to the front of the house. A hallway leads across the back of the house and gives access to a small TV room, cloaks cupboard, a spacious cloakroom and a good size study. There is also a boot room with ample coat hooks, inset Grant oil fired central heating boiler and a door to the rear of the house. From the kitchen an inner lobby with a traditional pantry leads to a utility/laundry which has a deep china sink with door to the outside and a door leading into the double garage.
The elegant staircase leads up to a galleried landing to a bedroom with an adjacent attic, and to the principal bedroom which has exposed ceiling and roof timbers. The principal bedroom is well fitted with a range of built in cupboards, exposed ceiling timbers and a door and steps down to the en suite bathroom being well fitted with pedestal basin, wc, rolltop bath and a shower. The inner landing leads to three further bedrooms and a family bathroom, with a shower, wc, panelled bath and pedestal wash basin. An upper landing with built in cupboards leads to a further bedroom and the guest bedroom with wall of built in cupboards, window enjoying views over the village and a door through to an en suite bathroom with panelled wash hand basin, wc and panelled bath with shower over.
