From the moment you step into The Old Rectory’s impressive reception hall via its grand pillared stone portico you know that this home is something special.
Beautifully improved and decorated by the current owners – like the rest of the house – the hall has panelled walls, reinstated picture rails and ornate cornicing to the ceiling, with herringbone flooring that runs seamlessly on into the inner hall areas.
Off the main hall is a double aspect sitting room with a fireplace housing an inset wood-burning stove and with ornate cornicing and a ceiling rose; the drawing room, also with ornate cornicing and a ceiling rose plus an inset wood-burning stove and French doors out to the garden; a cloakroom with panelled walls and Thomas Crapper sanitaryware; an informal reception room with an Inglenook fireplace housing an inset wood-burning stove plus built-in storage units; a utility/boot room and the living, dining kitchen.
Testament to the attention to detail The Old Rectory’s owners have embraced throughout when creating this stunning home, the utility/boot room includes an extensive range of handmade bespoke fitted units including a cupboard specially commissioned for the ironing board, plus a range of marble-topped storage units, a Belfast sink and French doors to the entertaining area to the rear.
And so to the living, dining kitchen – without doubt the heart of the home and family life.
The kitchen is centred around a large island unit and is home to an extensive range of bespoke units with marble worktops, a large five-oven AGA with traditional hot plates and a four-ring gas hob, a double Belfast sink with Quooker instant hot and filter tap and a Fisher Paykel dishwasher.
Beautiful limestone flooring with underfloor heating extends from the kitchen into the adjoining dining/living area, with the room benefitting from French doors to both sides – one opening onto the entertaining area and the other to the rear garden.
A sweeping staircase leads up to the beautifully decorated first floor landing, from where three steps lead to a large half-landing with built-in wardrobes, ornate cornicing and loft access.
On the upper tier are a large family bathroom with a slipper bath and two large master bedrooms, both with air conditioning and air filtration systems.
Off the lower landing are two further double bedrooms – one of which has the air filtration system – plus a bedroom currently used as a study and a recently refitted shower room with underfloor heating.
The Old Rectory has the added bonus of an annexe made up of a bedroom and study area with air conditioning and French doors out to the rear (currently used as a gym), plus a kitchen, shower room, living room (currently used as a study) and an upstairs bedroom.
The Old Rectory has parking at the front and side of the property, a garage with an EV car charging port, a private enclosed lawn and raised patio areas, plus an ornamental garden with raised beds, a seating area and a superb entertaining area with a Sonos sound system and a Fuego wood-fired pizza oven and granite worktops.
