Dating from 1861, The Old Rectory is a striking example of Victorian architecture at its most refined, offering a rare combination of generous proportions, classical design and modern comforts. The house has been beautifully maintained and thoughtfully improved over time, retaining its period elegance while accommodating the needs of a contemporary family lifestyle.

Arranged over three floors, the house opens into a grand reception hall with an elegant staircase rising through the centre of the home. High ceilings, or nate cornicing and original fireplaces feature throughout, lending an air of grace and grandeur.

The principal reception rooms all enjoy open views across the gardens and countryside beyond. French doors in the dining room, drawing room and orangery open onto a wide stone terrace, creating a seamless connection between inside and out.

At the heart of the home is a welcoming kitchen/breakfast room, featuring a four-oven oil-fired Aga, complemented by a separate electric oven/microwave. Silestone worktops, shaker cabinetry, and oak flooring complete the space, which is ideal for informal family living. Adjoining this is a large utility room, boot room and cloakroom, offering practical space for day-to-day life.

Perhaps one of the property's most unique features is its private indoor swimming pool, accessed directly from the kitchen. Complete with changing room and French doors to the terrace, it provides year-round leisure in total privacy.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a bright and generous room with dual aspect windows framing far-reaching rural views. It includes a striking period fireplace and a stylish en suite shower room. The first floor also offers four further spacious bedrooms, a large family bathroom with separate shower, additional cloakroom, and a former school room that could be used as an additional bedroom, study or playroom.

The second floor is particularly flexible, ideal for older children, extended family, guests or staff. It includes five well-proportioned bedrooms (two of which are reached via a central sitting room), a sixth room currently used for storage and a cinema room. There is a large family bathroom with a corner bath, twin sinks, a WC and a separate enclosed shower and a family shower room with a sink and a WC.

THE COACH HOUSE
Located at the front of the property and accessed via the main drive, the Coach House is an exceptional asset offering versatility and potential income. Divided into two distinct sections, the building houses a beautifully presented two-bedroom holiday let on one side, currently run as a successful short-stay rental. The other half comprises a self-contained one-bedroom flat above the triple garage—ideal for extended family, guests, or staff accommodation.

Each unit has its own access and privacy, allowing them to function independently or be integrated as ancillary accommodation depending on the owner's requirements.

Approached via electric iron gates, The Old Rectory is set back from the road along a sweeping circular driveway, flanked by lawns and mature trees. The setting is both private and picturesque, framed by established hedgerows and planting that provide year-round colour and shelter.
To the rear of the house, a large stone terrace runs the full width of the building, accessed by multiple French doors from the main reception rooms and the pool. This is an ideal space for outdoor dining, entertaining and enjoying the views. Beyond the terrace, the formal gardens extend to approximately 0.78 acres, with expanses of lawn bordered by herbaceous beds, mature trees and ornamental shrubs.

The triple garage, with the flat above, provides further parking and storage, complementing the ample space offered by the main driveway. Whether used as a family home, a country retreat, or a multigenerational residence, The Old Rectory offers outstanding outdoor amenity and the flexibility to suit a variety of lifestyles.
