Under the careful stewardship of the current owner, the property has undergone respectful renovation and refurbishment over the years and sets a high standard throughout. Upon entering the house, the impressive reception hall, adorned with its original Victorian tiled floor, beckons you into a realm of refined living. The principal reception rooms, characterised by an abundance of natural light streaming through shuttered sash windows, feature French doors, fireplaces (two boasting wood-burning stoves), deep skirting boards, and ornate coving.
A culinary masterpiece awaits in the vaulted kitchen/breakfast room, where a stone floor sets the stage for bespoke fitted base and wall units. Stone worktops complement the elegant design, while culinary enthusiasts will appreciate the presence of an Aga and a separate Electrolux oven and hob. Modern convenience meets classic charm with a built-in dishwasher and pantry, completing this thoughtfully designed space where functionality and style converge seamlessly.
The ground floor of The Old Rectory offers convenient access to various amenities, including the cellar, a well-appointed study, a cloakroom, and a utility/boiler room. Ascending to the first floor is an elegant curved staircase, adorned by a stunning stained glass arched window that bathes the staircase in natural light. The landing opens into three spacious double bedrooms, two of which boast en suite bath/shower rooms. Additionally, there are two more bedrooms and a family bathroom, providing well-appointed and versatile first floor accommodation.
Approaching The Old Rectory through electric gates, you are guided across a gravel carriage drive that leads to the front of the house and extends alongside to the double garage and paddocks beyond. The property is thoughtfully situated within mature grounds and gardens, predominantly laid to lawn with charming flower beds. Towering, impressive trees contribute to a sense of privacy and seclusion.
A delightful terrace at the rear, accessible from the kitchen/breakfast room, invites al fresco dining. Adjacent to the terrace, the entrance to the wood store conceals a unique feature—an ice house tucked beneath the floor. The paddock, spread across approximately 4 acres, is easily accessible through two separate entrances and is equipped with a stable block, adding a touch of rural charm to this exceptional village property.
Centred around its small village green and the parish church of The Holy Trinity, the village of Middleton also has a primary school, public house (The Bell) and is served by public transport. The village lies approximately four miles from the Suffolk Heritage Coast at the historic village of Dunwich to the south and the internationally renowned RSPB Bird Reserve at Minsmere.
