Description
Description
The Old Rectory is an impressive Grade II listed period residence with striking limestone elevations. Internally, the house has been carefully styled, with understated, elegant décor that successfully complements original architectural features.
At the heart of the house is the open-plan, L-shaped kitchen, dining and sitting area, providing an excellent space for both everyday living and entertaining. Double doors open directly on to the south facing rear gardens, while the sitting area features a cast-iron open fireplace. The kitchen is fitted with modern shaker-style units, a central island, integrated appliances and a range cooker. Additional ground floor accommodation includes a superb drawing room with decorative cornicing, ceiling rose and crescent shaped bay with French doors to the garden, as well as a further reception room with a striking double-height ceiling and log burning stove.
The main house offers flexible accommodation across the first and second floors, with space for up to 10 bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys an en suite bathroom and adjoining dressing room, which could alternatively be used as an additional bedroom. Further bathrooms and a shower room serve the remaining bedrooms.
Adjoining the house is a self-contained annexe arranged over two floors, comprising an open-plan sitting/dining room and kitchen on the ground floor, with two en suite bedrooms upstairs.
The property is approached via a long private driveway leading to a paved courtyard and two large, detached garages. The gardens are a particular feature surrounding the house, incorporating an outdoor heated swimming pool, sweeping lawns, a variety of paved and gravel terraces for outdoor entertaining, established planting, mature trees and areas of woodland that provide privacy and shelter.
