Description
General Description
Smiths Property Experts are privileged with instruction to market The Old Rectory, a fine and handsome period home of discernible grandeur occupying grounds in excess of 1/3 of an acre.
The property boasts all of its original features including open fires and fireplaces, joinery, floors, and service bells, and offers an extremely rare opportunity to acquire a family home in its original form from the Victorian/Edwardian period. The property is listed with no upward chain and vacant possession.
The Property
The main house is a fine home of 3,000 square feet or thereabouts providing gas central heating throughout. The property is not listed but offers beautiful period living accommodation with 10’4 high ceilings downstairs, a beautiful hall with an original staircase and grandeur throughout. The house has been sympathetically updated and whilst there is more room and scope for modernisation, it is rare to find a home of this period with all its original features and layout.
The living accommodation is centred around a light-filled hall and first-floor landing. In brief, there are three large reception rooms namely the morning room, dining room and drawing room with direct garden access. There is plentiful storage, a downstairs w.c, a pantry, a boot room and utility space, and a generous kitchen/breakfast room fitted in a shaker-style with units around. Accessed from the boot room are the original cellars providing useful storage.
Upstairs are five double bedrooms and two bathrooms (one en-suite). There is a separate WC and an airing cupboard.
Grounds and Outbuildings
There are a number of useful outbuildings that offer huge potential. Attached to the house are a collection of stores with a gardeners’ WC, one of which has been utilised and converted into a home office with a lovely outlook over the gardens. To the right-hand side of the plot is a timber built workshop of circa 200 square feet or thereabouts.
There is also the original detached coach house, a beautiful period building that has a number of potential uses including garaging, workshop space or a potential small conversion for an annexe or ‘Air BNB’ subject to the necessary planning consents.
