The tiny village of Creeton is a cluster of houses with The Old Rectory approached up a no-through lane that leads to the church behind. Built of limestone with a Collyweston slate roof and Grade II listed, it was built circa 1750. The Victorian front, giving wonderful views to the West, was added in 1850 – with an imposing gothic façade with stone mullion windows and gargoyles that complement the church. Further additions were added through the twentieth century to create a very substantial property indeed. With most of the rooms spread over two floors, downstairs they are well proportioned possessing high ceilings and original features such as working fireplaces, tall sash windows with internal shutters and window seats, picture rails and stone and timber floors. The property exudes warmth and a homeliness, indeed it has been a truly wonderful family home for the owners for the last twenty- seven years. The house has been well maintained and it should be noted the roof has been completely overhauled and is in exceptionally good order. The beautiful garden that gently dips down the hillside provides glorious views of the surrounding countryside, and is a delightful mix of formality with a simple, naturalistic flavour, and was almost entirely created by the current owners. Neatly clipped yew hedges topped with carefully sculpted topiary contrast beautifully with mown paths that attract abundant birds and butterflies. The crystal clear waters of the swimming pond have been enjoyed by the family not only in summer but by hardy members throughout winter too! All the flower beds and many indigenous trees were planted by the current owners, now well established and mature features. The owners’ two daughters were married from The Old Rectory which provided the perfect venue for a country wedding.
