Substantial modern home with around 3 acres of total grounds
Rectory House is an impressive modern detached residence, built in 2002 and discreetly positioned in a tucked-away setting, while incorporating traditional architectural styling. Extending to approximately 4,200 sq ft, the property offers exceptionally generous accommodation ideally suited to a large family, or equally a couple seeking substantial living space and excellent entertaining areas.
The house occupies attractive grounds of approximately half an acre, with a further 2.5-acre paddock offering excellent versatility and potential for a variety of uses, including equestrian pursuits.
For buyers seeking a home of quality, stature and space, Rectory House is undoubtedly a property not to be missed.
The accommodation is centred around a welcoming entrance hall, which leads through to the magnificent dual-aspect drawing room. Featuring an attractive fireplace and measuring an impressive 30 ft by 18 ft, this elegant room provides a superb setting for both everyday living and larger social gatherings.
Three additional reception rooms comprise a formal dining room, study and separate sitting room, providing excellent flexibility for modern family life. The western wing of the house was originally designed with an internal annexe arrangement in mind and therefore benefits from a kitchenette and cloakroom adjoining the sitting room, offering potential for multigenerational living or guest accommodation.
The kitchen/breakfast/living room forms the heart of the home and is a quintessential family space. It is fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units, complemented by a central island providing additional storage and a natural focal point for entertaining. Beyond this, there is ample space for both dining and relaxed seating areas, enhanced by a further fireplace which creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. A utility room provides practical access between the kitchen and garden, while an additional cloakroom serves the ground floor.
To the first floor, a spacious landing leads to five well-proportioned double bedrooms. Two bedrooms benefit from en suite facilities, one comprising a shower room and the other a bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms are served by two family bathrooms. A dressing room adjoining one of the larger bedrooms offers potential to create an additional en suite, subject to a purchaser's requirements.
Outside
The property is approached via a gravel driveway through secure electric gates, leading to a detached triple garage with power and lighting connected. Together, these provide extensive parking for numerous vehicles.
The immediate grounds extend to approximately half an acre and wrap around the house, enjoying a good degree of privacy afforded by mature trees and established planting. The current owners have further enhanced the gardens with attractive rose beds and a selection of fruit trees. A well-positioned patio terrace provides an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining.
Situated opposite the house is a paddock extending to approximately 2.5 acres, offering excellent potential for those wishing to keep horses or simply enjoy additional land. Properties of this style and quality rarely combine substantial modern accommodation with such useful ancillary land, making Rectory House particularly appealing to purchasers with equestrian interests.
