The House
The Rectory dates back to the 18th Century and once served the neighbouring St Mary’s Church, built by the Norman’s in 1150. The house was reconstructed in 1758 by the then wife of the Rector. The house was finally passed into private ownership in 1951 and then finally onto the current owners in 1980.
The house is grander than most country Rectory’s, with a beautiful Tuscan porch was added to the original design along with further decorative and details internally, which have all been retained and enhanced over the years by the current owners.
The principal rooms have a wonderful vista of the gardens, with an abundance of natural light via the large original sash windows. The spacious and impressive drawing room has the original wooden floors, decorative coving, cast iron ornate radiators and an 18th century French marble fireplace with an early original Georgian inserted gate, sash windows with shutters. There are large double doors in-between the drawing room and sitting room that can be drawn back to create one magnificent room, ideal for family gatherings and hosting parties. In addition, there is a garden room which has been added by the current owners in 2011 with doors leading to the terrace, gardens and a gate to the church next door.
There is a superb large open plan kitchen breakfast room with a range of wall and base units, custom made with lime oak and finished with granite worktops and fitted appliances as well as an Aga, with views over the courtyard. Adjacent is a useful utility room and the dining room.

The principal bedroom suite is approached via the large dressing room with fitted wardrobes and a door leads to the en suite bathroom with free standing bath and dual sinks. The generous principal bedroom enjoys far reaching views of the surrounding countryside. There are four further bedrooms and a house bathroom.
