The Property
The Old Rectory is a bright and well-proportioned Georgian house, typical of the period and with a fine southern aspect set in about 2.8 acres of gardens and grounds overlooking unspoilt meadows towards Earsham and Bungay churches. The house was built in 1805, the year of the battle of Trafalgar. Originally owned by The Knights Templar and subsequently by the Dukes of Norfolk, the land on which The Old Rectory is built was handed over to the church for the purpose of constructing “A fitting residence for the Parson”.

The property has been well maintained and extended to include a potential three room annexe which would be perfect for multi-generational living or just provide extra living space if desired. A kitchen would need to be installed for this to be used as an annexe.

An excellent kitchen/breakfast area has wonderful views into the garden and with adjoining family room providing ample entertaining space for friends and family.

In the original part of the house there are two well proportioned principal reception rooms with French windows leading onto the garden. A music room and a small library provide ideal snugs or reading rooms. On the first floor of the main house there are four bedrooms and three bathrooms.

Outside
Situated in a private location in superb gardens the outside space is a must see. Ample off road parking is provided thanks to the large gravel driveway and both a double and single detached garages.

A variety of mature trees and shrubs are in situ with the majority of the gardens laid to lawn and taking in the stunning views over countryside. Both a kitchen garden and orchard containing a variety of fruit tree add character to the outside with the attractive courtyard and patio terrace providing an
excellent entertainment space.
