Contemporary interior with traditional charm.
The Old Rectory is stone detached property tucked away in the small conservation village of Thenford. It is situated gable end onto the village road benefitting from the lovely countryside views to the south side. The owners have recently renovated and refurbished the property (2020), and it now offers a contemporary interior with traditional charm. Exposed beams, fireplaces and window seats and shutters all add to the character of the house.
The kitchen has a pantry store and a central island unit providing a good practical working space with integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher and Smeg rangemaster oven. Windows with views onto the garden bring in plenty of natural light. The adjacent utility/boot room and WC offers a separate workspace with Belfast sink and built-in cupboards with space for white goods. Both the dining room and sitting room have wood burning stoves and south facing windows offering generous room proportions and good ceiling heights. There is access to the cellar and first floor from the drawing room.
The first floor can be accessed by two staircases. The principal bedroom within its own wing, has views over the garden and spacious bathroom ensuite with built in cupboards, free standing claw footed slipper bath, separate shower and two sinks. There are two further double bedrooms on this first floor and family shower room. On the second floor are two bedrooms and wc. The fifth bedroom could be used as a home office.
Outside is a beautiful traditional south facing country house garden enclosed by a high stone wall. There is a paved seating area ideal for entertaining with
mature trees and shrubs creating a private space. There is planning permission to extend the property, which could add a larger family open plan kitchen/dining room and off-road parking for one car. Planning reference number WNS/2022/0376/FUL.
