Description

A handsome detached Grade II Listed country rectory set within mature grounds of 1.80 acres (sts), featuring a south-facing walled rear garden, a spacious parking forecourt and a high degree of privacy. Offering elegant and characterful accommodation, the property provides up to six bedrooms, two bathrooms and two shower rooms, alongside a farmhouse-style dining kitchen, a striking 50ft courtyard-conservatory, and a garden room with glazed bay. Two beautifully proportioned principal reception rooms, a welcoming hallway with shaped archways, and two feature staircases enhance the sense of space and period charm.

Dating back to 1810 with a mid-19th century addition, the house retains many original features including red brick Flemish bond elevations, slate roofing, sash windows with working shutters and refined architectural detailing throughout. A sympathetically designed modern double garage wing incorporates workshop, hobbies rooms, storage and utility areas. The property benefits from gas central heating with a condensing boiler and secondary glazing to many windows. The area included is bordered red on the aerial image with additional land available separately bordered blue. All plans are subject to survey and for guidance only.
