SPACIOUS VICTORIAN RECTORY IN 3.458 ACRES (EST) THE OLD RECTORY, QUIDENHAM, NORFOLK The Property The Old Rectory is a spacious, comfortable family home situated within its own gardens and grounds in the rural hamlet of Quidenham. The property is believed to date back to 1870, with later 20th century additions and alterations, and is of solid brick construction under a tiled roof. The current owners purchased the property in 1994 and then spent a year carrying out various improvements including re-roofing, and moved in during 1995. The well planned accommodation over two floors has well proportioned rooms with many period features. The principal rooms are south facing over the formal part of the garden. We draw your attention to the floor plans for a full explanation as to how the accommodation is arranged. More recently, a new boiler was installed in the autumn of 2016. Also in recent years one of the bathrooms was upgraded. Other works include the chimneys being treated for damp and a French drain dug around part of the property. Outside The house is approached via a large sweeping gravelled driveway, which leads past the front entrance and to the timber double garage. Beyond the garage is a further single garage, currently used for storage, and a small adjoining herb patch. The formal part of the garden leads away from the house on the south side over wide lawned gardens with mature trees and shrubs, and hedging marking the boundaries. The land is situated on the southeast side of the property, and again is grassed and could be fenced for horses or animals if required. The gardens and grounds in all extend to 3.458 acres (est).
