4 bedroom detached house for sale

Set discreetly at the end of a long private drive, this elegant Victorian rectory is a fine and substantial family home, beautifully refurbished and decorated in a classical style, to an exceptional standard. The property also offers a detached, self-contained annexe, of equal calibre, set across the drive, within the beautifully maintained and designed gardens, which are a fraction over two acres.
The house is not Listed and therefore alteration and future extensions, should be a fairly straight forward proposition.

The House

The Old Rectory is constructed in attractive mellow brick beneath a pitched tiled roof, retaining many hallmarks of its Victorian heritage, including tall, sash-style windows, decorative gables, and generous ceiling heights. Internally, the accommodation flows gracefully over two principal floors, offering light-filled, well-proportioned rooms ideally suited to both family-living and entertaining.

The interior has been thoughtfully refurbished, combining period character with modern comfort. Traditional joinery, quality fittings and refined colour palettes sit comfortably alongside contemporary kitchen and bathroom installations, creating a home that feels both elegant and practical.

At the heart of the house lies a beautifully appointed kitchen and breakfast room, fitted in a timeless style and designed as a natural gathering space for family and guests. There is a cellar below.

The three reception rooms, including formal dining room, drawing room and the study or snug, enjoy attractive views over the gardens.

The handsome staircase rises to the first floor, where the landing provides access to each of the four, double bedrooms, two of which have ensuite facilities. The family shower room serves the two other bedrooms. The attic space above offers scope for further accommodation if desired.

Annexe and Studio

Another appealing feature of this fine family home, is the large, independent annexe. This offers superbly appointed accommodation including a large living room, dining kitchen, hall, cloakroom and bedroom suite. The annexe has been used for housing family members in the past. A lift rises from the hall to the self-contained studio above – ideal as a staff or letting flat.

Gardens and Grounds

The long private driveway, with electric gates, runs past the annexe and up to the double garage, adjacent to the house. The gardens offer a series of attractive areas for relaxation and recreation, with open lawns, sheltered corners and delightful views across open countryside. A veranda spans the back of the house, and overlooks the kitchen garden. The rest of the grounds are thoughtfully landscaped and predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with mature trees, shrubs and well-stocked borders. There are useful machinery stores within the garden.
