Description
The Old Rectory is the country home you’ve always imagined but rarely find.
ABOUT THIS HOUSE
Tucked away on the edge of the charming village of Water Stratford, this exceptional home offers a rare blend of timeless elegance, modern comfort, and glorious outdoor space. Set in around 10 acres, with a beautifully established 2-acre garden and fields beyond, it’s a home made for both lively gatherings and quiet retreats.
The house itself is classic and welcoming, with generous, light-filled rooms that make the most of far-reaching views. Every window feels like a painting, from the ancient oak tree standing sentinel in the paddock to the gentle curve of the river at the boundary.
A separate three-bedroom annexe offers superb guest or multigenerational living space, while outdoor amenities elevate this home into something truly special; a heated swimming pool, hard tennis court, stables, and open paddocks for horses or hobby farming.
This is a home for every season, from long, lazy summers by the pool to crisp autumn walks through your own fields. A place where children can roam, friends can gather, and life can unfold at its own, perfect pace. The Old Rectory isn’t just a property, it’s a lifestyle, beautifully realised in a setting that’s nothing short of idyllic.
