A distinguished Grade II listed 18th Century Rectory with outstanding potential, set beside St Vigor’s Church in the sought-after village of Stratton-on-the-Fosse.
The property offers elegant proportions, fine period features, a two-bedroom Coach House, and beautiful established gardens with far-reaching views across the valley.
Now requiring sympathetic renovation, it presents a rare opportunity to restore a handsome historic home to its former glory.
About the property:
A classically handsome Grade II listed 18th Century Rectory set in the lovely village of Stratton-on-the-Fosse next to the church St Vigors, with beautiful landscaped gardens, a separate two bedroom coach house, and stunning views across the valley.
A wonderful restoration project in a beautiful Somerset setting — The Old Rectory offers space, history, and enormous potential for a buyer ready to bring it back to life.
About the inside:
The front elevation features a large half-glazed door opening into a generous hall. From here, doors lead to a double-aspect dining room with a panelled sash window overlooking the front garden, and a sitting room with fireplace, decorative arch, and parquet flooring.
The drawing room at the rear enjoys dual aspects, a marble fireplace, and a bay window with French doors to the garden — a wonderfully light and elegant space once restored.
The kitchen retains its traditional country character with hand-built wooden units, quartz surfaces, an oil-fired AGA and a large walk in pantry, and a useful hatch through to the drawing room. Beyond is a utility room with quarry-tiled floor and direct access to the driveway and Coach House.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys open countryside views and an en-suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom with roll-top bath and large window overlooking the surrounding fields.
Many of the rooms feature original sash windows, panelled doors, and high ceilings — all waiting to be revived.
The Coach House
Previously used as a successful Airbnb, the Coach House offers excellent secondary accommodation. It comprises a spacious entrance hall, ground-floor bedroom with en-suite shower room, and a light galleried living and dining area upstairs, opening to a fitted kitchen, double bedroom, and bathroom. Two garages and a store room complete the outbuildings.
About the outside:
A five-bar gate between stone pillars opens to a generous driveway with parking for several vehicles and access to the Coach House and garages.
The landscaped gardens, remain beautifully designed — with extensive lawns, fruit trees, herbaceous borders, and a summer house — all set against the stunning backdrop of the church and open countryside.
A pretty gate in the stone wall provides access from the lane to the front door.
