Description - The Old Rectory is a particularly fine Grade II Listed Georgian former Rectory dating back to 1803 with mellow sandstone elevations, canted bay windows to the front and full height sash windows to the rear, which flood the house with natural light, all surmounted by a hipped slate roof. The house has immeasurable charm and is wonderfully symmetrical, displaying period features such as original shutters, corniced ceilings, dado rails, deep skirting boards, ornate fireplaces, wide boarded oak floors and an impressive classical Georgian oak cantilevered staircase.
The Old Rectory is ideally sized for today’s family living with versatile accommodation, generously proportioned rooms and exceptional ceiling height. There are three formal reception rooms, being drawing room, dining room and sitting room plus a study. There is a good hall and second rear staircase. The large kitchen/breakfast room has an AGA, pantry and utility room. The ground floor is completed by a cloakroom/W.C. and rear hall/boot room with stairs leading down to substantial useful cellarage.
On the first floor is large landing, inner landing, the principal bedroom suite has fitted dressing room and ensuite, the second bedroom with ensuite and fitted laundry room, bedroom four with shower, two further double bedrooms, with bedroom five, Jack & Jill to the principal and family bathroom.
There is a most attractive detached range of sandstone former coach house outbuildings. These provide three double garages, office/storerooms and house a leisure suite to the ground floor and converted self-contained two bedroomed accommodation on the first floor.
An entrance hall leads to the leisure suite comprises a pool room with indoor pool with Jetstream, changing/gym area and separate shower room. The staircase from the hall leads up to the first floor, which is stunning, with an abundance of exposed beams, great ceiling height with a very light feel with numerous windows. This area accommodates a huge open plan room which houses a fully fitted kitchen with space for large dining table and a living area. The principal bedroom suite has a dressing room, ensuite shower room and free-standing roll top bath and good sized second bedroom. This space is versatile and offers a myriad of possibilities, from holiday cottage to supplementary accommodation for dependant relative.
Outbuildings, Gardens & Grounds - The Old Rectory is surrounded by a three-metre-high sandstone wall, which shields the house totally from view, providing a high degree of privacy and protection. An impressive set of solid timber gates open onto a sweeping gravel drive to the front of the house and a separate private, manicured lawned walled garden with deep herbaceous borders and many established specimen trees and shrubs including magnolias, camelias, rhododendron, tulip tree, ginko, bean tree, wisteria, hydrangeas and roses. To the rear lies an ornamental walled cobbled courtyard garden with central water feature surrounded by lavender. An old wooden door leads to the large tarmac parking area which fronts the coach house and leads to the kitchen garden with greenhouse and potting shed. There is an attractive stone building currently used as a garden store, which could be converted to additional accommodation/stable if required. Beyond this is an enclosed orchard with apples, pears, damsons, plums and greengage and a timber field shelter/log store. Adjacent to the orchard is a hard tennis court which is screened by tall beech hedging. To the gable end of the coach house is an attractive stable block with two Monarch stables and garage/tack/feed store. Beyond the orchard are two post and railed/hedged, level paddocks, making this house ideal for the equestrian buyer.
