Description The Old Rectory is a handsome Grade II listed house built in 1849 and believed to be occupying the site of an earlier dwelling. The gabled stone elevations under traditional slate roof form the appealing Victorian style often associated with 19th century ecclesiastical properties, which today are valued and in high demand as family homes. Situated on the edge of the village and approached over a long drive which crosses the paddock, The Old Rectory nestles among mature trees next to the village church, St. Mary’s. The drive forms a gravel forecourt in front of the house as well as providing access to the courtyard and outbuildings. The delightful gardens and grounds surround the property. On entering the large reception hall with its fine staircase, the architectural interior detail of the mid-nineteenth century is evident with panelled doors and deep architraves, fine ceiling mouldings and wooden and tiled floors. All rooms are well-proportioned and offer high ceilings, large windows and fireplaces (in the principal rooms). Both the drawing room and sitting room have French doors opening onto the garden. A good-sized kitchen/ breakfast room is the focal point of the ground floor and this is well served by the the food preparation room and separate utility room which adjoin it. There is a large downstairs shower room with WC. The cellar has both internal and external access. The bedrooms are all of a good size, well appointed and enjoy fine views. The bathroom and en suite complete the first floor accommodation.
