A fine former rectory with extensive accommodation and stunning gardens and grounds, sitting on approximately 8.13 acres, and including a historic parish church rich in character.
Description
The Old Rectory is a splendid, substantial Grade II listed house offering a wealth of characterful accommodation arranged over two light-filled floors. The property dates from the late 18th century, with 19th-century additions, and the listing also includes the stunning Grade II listed All Saints Church within the grounds.
The house features attractive limestone and red brick elevations, as well as sash windows, while inside the accommodation is well-appointed with understated décor and various original details including original fireplaces.
Ground floor reception rooms include the Long Room, an impressive living and entertaining space featuring a fireplace with a log burner, and double doors opening to the similarly proportioned conservatory, with its sunny south-facing aspect. There is also a comfortable sitting room and a formal dining room, and towards the rear, a generous and well-equipped kitchen. The kitchen has farmhouse-style fitted units, a butler sink and an Aga, as well as space for a breakfast table for informal dining, while the utility room and two stores provide further space for appliances and home storage.
There are five bedrooms in the main part of the house, including the principal bedroom with its built-in wardrobes and walk-through en suite shower room. One of the bedrooms has its own washbasin while two benefit from built-in cupboard space. The first floor also has a family bathroom with a bathtub and a separate shower. Further accommodation is found on the first floor above the garaging and workshop block, which is accessed via a staircase at the rear of the ground floor. This includes an additional three large rooms, all of which could be used as bedrooms if required, plus a further bathroom.
The entrance to the property is at the rear, where a five-bar gate opens to the tarmac driveway, providing ample parking space and access to the garage, store and workshop. This block also includes a sauna room.
The gardens extend to the rear of the house, with a south facing aspect and rolling lawns, as well as established shrubs, well tended hedgerows and various mature specimen trees, with the garden continuing into the paddock where extensive additional trees have been planted over the last 40 years. In addition, there is a patio area for al fresco dining, as well as a tennis court and a swimming pool with its own air source heat pump and sun terrace.
The grounds are also home to an 18th century parish church, which has Grade II Listed status and features an octagonal bell tower and stunning stained-glass window, as well as a vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams. The church offers various potential uses, subject to the necessary consents.
