DESCRIPTION The Old Rectory is a really handsome and fascinating period property of two principal styles. The original house dates from the very early part of the 18th Century and there is a later mellow yellow brick Victorian south east “wing” which internally connects seamlessly with the original dwelling. Grade II listed as being of historical and architectural interest, The Old Rectory is described as being early 18th Century red brick with five recessed hung sash windows at both floor levels, with three gabled dormer windows on the upper floor together with a 19th Century wing (projecting slightly from the original) with a shallow hipped slate roof and three first floor recessed hung sash windows. There are a wide variety of period features throughout the property – cornicing, deep architraves and skirtings, panelled doors, open fireplaces, sash windows and the high ceilinged principal rooms are light, spacious and well-proportioned The front door, in the Victorian wing, has a continuous moulded stone architrave with rounded head and fanlight and leads to a fine entrance hall with sweeping cast iron balustraded staircase, wooden flooring and a trompe l’oeil stone design beneath the dado to the first floor. The three principal reception rooms span the entire width of the house, and a study, utility, boot room and large well-fitted Aga kitchen/ breakfast room complete the ground floor accommodation. There is a charming library area on the landing beside the superb master suite of double aspect bedroom and bathroom with oval bath, twin wash basins and shower. There is a guest suite at the opposite end of the first floor together with three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. A second staircase leads to the upper floor with the sixth bedroom with bathroom, playroom/bedroom 7 and inter-connecting bedroom 8. OUTSIDE The property is approached over a pea shingled drive which splits before reaching the house and leads up to a parking sweep beside the front elevation and an additional parking area in front of the former stable block perpendicular to the rear of the house. There are delightful, mature sloping gardens adjacent to and beyond the front drive incorporating a large mature Lebanese Cedar tree, a fenced pond, rear secluded dining terrace and a wired hard tennis court. Immediately to the rear of the house is a paved courtyard with a range of brick and slate outbuildings part of which has been refurbished to create a superb laundry room, boiler room, gardener’s cloakroom and store. Beyond is the stable building which has two built-in loose boxes with herringbone brick floors, a hayloft and separate tack room, a double garage with power and light.
