A fine period home with elegant character and adaptable accommodation, set in a peaceful rural location within reach of Sleaford and Grantham.
Description
The Old Rectory is an impressive period residence surrounded by mature gardens and open fields. Together with the attached annexe, it provides 3,753 sq ft of stylish, light-filled accommodation arranged across two floors.
Inside, elegant period details include ornate cornicing, expansive windows, and feature fireplaces. The four ground-floor reception rooms provide a balance of formal and informal spaces. The main sitting room enjoys a bright, south-facing aspect over the gardens, while the dining room features a striking bay window. The morning rooms offers a relaxed family retreat, and the study provides a peaceful environment for home working.
The kitchen and adjoining dining area form the heart of the home, combining farmhouse charm with practical modern touches. Fitted with shaker-style units and a split butler sink, the kitchen also includes a pantry and utility room for additional storage and appliances. A cellar provides further space for household items.
Upstairs, there are four beautifully appointed double bedrooms, one with an en suite bathroom. The family bathroom includes both a bathtub and a separate shower, and there is an additional WC.
The annexe, connected internally via the utility room but also accessible independently, is finished to the same high standard. It includes a sitting room with French doors to the garden, a fully fitted kitchen, and a bathroom on the ground floor, with two double bedrooms above.
A five-bar wooden gate opens on to a sweeping gravel driveway leading to the house, which sits back from the lane in a private position. There is ample parking in front of the property, together with a detached garaging block.
The extensive gardens and grounds are a highlight, with wide lawns, established shrubs and mature trees creating a tranquil setting. Gravel terraces and seating areas surround the house, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond the formal gardens lie open fields and paddocks, all framed by picturesque countryside views.
