9 bedroom detached house for sale

A quite beautiful property that is situated in the lea of St Leonards Church, on a generous plot of approximately 1.3 acres, commanding a fine, south westerly facing outlook, over the surrounding, rolling fields. Standing well back from the road, at the end of a long sweep of driveway, in pretty grounds, it is suggested that the front of the plot offers an excellent development opportunity (subject to planning) for the next owners to capitalise on, and, due to the length of the driveway and the property's position at the back of the plot, one that would not be detrimental to the occupants of The Rectory. This gorgeous property has been well cared for and renovated by the current custodian who has provided nothing but care and thought in his renovations over the last 24 years of ownership. The property has been brought back to life and is now fit for the modern way of life with the installation of some hardwood double glazed sashes, replastering throughout, new heating and wiring, redecorating both on the inside and out, reintroducing a first floor over the kitchen to provide additional accommodation and installing modern fittings to sympathetically enhance the original period fixtures. This really is a quite stunning residence which will be sure to impress the discerning buyer.

Description - 'The Old Rectory' is very much a one off. The property is large, with 5162 square feet of accommodation, but not too large to be intimidated by. It has a homely feel and is complemented by its excellent position, in the North East corner of Rotherham, very close to the highly regarded Rotherham Golf Club and the beautiful surrounding countryside. The property is situated on a generous plot of approximately1.3 acres, well back from the road, with grounds including a paddock style plot on the long driveway/approach with more formal gardens found outside the house to the front and at the side. The views from the property (especially on the first floor) are also quite lovely. Fields and Moorland frame the outlook towards the distant steel works that provide a nod to the areas industrial roots and a pleasant contrast to the vibrant gardens. On the other side of the house, the period architecture of St Leonards provides a relaxing feel when approaching the Rectory from the road. The property itself has been lovingly restored by the current custodian. With a comprehensive scheme of modernisation which has included the installation of timber double glazing, replastering throughout, new heating and wiring, redecorating both on the inside and out, reintroducing a first floor over the kitchen to provide additional accommodation and installing modern fittings to sympathetically enhance the original period fixtures. With a bespoke, Brookmans kitchen also being installed in the large, family friendly dining kitchen and helping to create a timeless feel and the perfect setting for meals and entertaining. The property also offers huge potential for further development, the grounds/paddock at the front of the property, fronting onto Doncaster Road, offer obvious potential as a building plot (subject to regs) and it is suggested that due to the length of the drive and the property's orientation, any development on this site would barely affect the occupants of The Rectory and could be quite lucrative if done right. The property (which isn't listed) would also lend itself to commercial use subject to planning. Available with no onward chain.
