AN ELEGANT FORMER RECTORY WITH CONVERTED COACH HOUSE AND ALL SET IN DELIGHTFUL MATURE GROUNDS

This handsome Grade II Listed Rectory originally dates back to the 17th Century with significant extension in the 18th Century and further altered in the 19th Century. Having been sympathetically refurbished in the 1980s it has been further renovated by the present owners.

Complementing the main accommodation is the converted former coach house which lies to the north of the Rectory and provides excellent self-contained accommodation for dependant relatives, children or indeed having the ability to generate investment income.

An inner hall runs through the middle of the house with exposed quarry tiles and brick flooring along with useful recessed storage cupboards. A part-glazed door leads out to the side drive with cobbled parking area.

At the far end is the cloakroom and utility room with fitted shelving, enamel butler’s sink and plumbing for washing machine and dryer.

The kitchen/breakfast room has been upgraded and lies to the rear with fine views over the orchard and across to the parish church and side drive. The kitchen lies to one end featuring bespoke fitted Shaker base and eye level units with Maple work surface. Fitted appliances include integral Electrolux dishwasher, free standing Cannon electric cooker with four ring gas hob and there is a recess housing the microwave. The breakfast area benefits from polished stone flagged flooring with bay window having a window seat. Within the fireplace sits the Nordica wood-fired range cooker and either side lie two full height recessed cupboards, one utilised as a pantry cupboard and the other housing the wall mounted gas fired boiler and hot water cylinder.
