The present owners have, over the last seventeen years or so, elevated the property to a commendable standard, with high quality refinements including numerous noteworthy features; a handcrafted bespoke country kitchen, cabinet quality library/study, a classical orangery by Vale Garden Houses, and an opulent three-room principal bedroom suite being of reference.
The house has been meticulously modernised including replacement of many of the original windows with conservation grade replacement double glazed replica heritage sash window frames and efficient gas central heating, partially underfloor, with two new boilers installed in 2023.
The mellow brick elevations of the main house were carefully restored with 20th century rendering having been painstakingly removed, the product of which was the emergence of The Old Rectory in a form closely aligned to its architectural origins, a commendable legacy of the present owner’s contribution to the elegant and rather special home which exists today.
A first-class Lutron controlled high specification lighting, security and wiring system with a structured cabling network linked to data hub allows all modern media and lifestyle demands to be capably achieved.
The property enjoys an exquisite formal country garden setting, with a long, gated gravel approach drive meandering through a charming woodland area, culminating in a delightful lower formal courtyard entrance. Expansive well-managed lawned grounds open out from the main rear garden facade, beyond which there is a block of grassland suitable for equestrian or livestock grazing, in all the perfect combination for a small country house estate.
