Description

The Old Rectory is in need of comprehensive refurbishment and offers an extremely rare opportunity to restore this magnificent home to its former glory.

The Old Rectory is a substantial Georgian detached residence built circa 1830. The building has twenty six rooms which include a six room barrel vaulted cellar, five reception rooms, including a billiard room and potentially twelve to fourteen bedrooms as well as six bathrooms. Historically there was a Gun Room, Boot Room, Silver Room, Sewing Room, Cold Store and Pantry. This fine home has been in the family's ownership for many years and now requires significant refurbishment throughout, many of the fine architectural features have been retained and much of the internal joinery has been removed and preserved.

The grounds in all extend to about 1.38 acres with a range of fine trees, lawn and sweeping driveway giving access to The Old Rectory and neighbouring properties.
