About this property

  • The Old Rectory is an impressive renovated country house in a classical style. Originally constructed in 19th century, it has subsequently been extended now offering over 6,000 sq ft. of living accommodation over three floors. The property is immaculately presented and offers well-appointed rooms throughout and is enhanced by excellent ceiling heights.

    Over the ground floor there are elegant reception rooms, a “Plain English” custom built kitchen/breakfast room with a four oven electric AGA and solid oak flooring throughout the ground floor. Of particular note is the fabulous orangery style family room with two roof lanterns and three sets of French doors leading out onto the landscaped garden.

    Over the first floor are five bedrooms with three bathrooms whilst on the second floor are two further large double bedrooms and a large family bathroom.

    The property is approached from the village lane by a single track with a five bar gate leading to a gravelled circular driveway. There is a detached double garage, with brick elevations under a tiled roof with two up and over doors with concrete floors, power and light. To the immediate right of the driveway is a former Victorian coach house with brick and stone elevations under a tile roof. We believe, subject to the necessary planning consents, that this could be converted into a two-storey building to provide additional residential accommodation, if required.

    Within the garden and grounds is a hard tennis court whilst to the western boundary is a gate providing access to the village. The gardens are mainly lawned interspersed by specimen trees with various boundary hedging. There is also a wooded area to the north west. To the south is an expansive lawn with a small stream to the southern boundary with fields beyond. Within the garden there is also an avenue of trees opening to magnificent views of the White Horse.

One of the things I love most about The Old Rectory is that you hardly know it's there. It is privately positioned on the edge of the village, with views over its grounds and the surrounding farmland.
