A beautifully appointed unlisted Victorian former Rectory, with elegant, generously proportioned rooms, extensive garages and lovely gardens, on the edge of the village with farmland views

Description

The Old Rectory (officially 11 Station Road) dates from circa 1857 and retains the grace and elegant proportions of its Victorian era. With symmetrical principal reception rooms and generous double bedrooms, the rooms retain period fireplaces and cornices, high ceilings and a bright interior, lit by large sash windows that offer views of the garden and setting. By contrast, the family kitchen is modern, large and connects marvellously with the exterior and gardens.

The striking period house, which occupies a prominent edge of village position, is approached along a gated driveway through lovely lawned gardens to a turning sweep to the east of the house, from which double gates open into a large courtyard, framed to two sides by the property’s linked outbuildings and coach house, for further parking and the extensive garages.

The Accommodation
The house is entered via an elegant porch and spacious vestibule entrance hall, which accesses the kitchen and a cloakroom/WC, to the impressive, full-height, skylit, reception stairwell hallway; a wonderful meet and greet area within this elegant home.

Doors open from the reception hallway to the three reception rooms and the fabulous family dining kitchen. The drawing room and sitting rooms are both beautiful and symmetrical south facing rooms, each with period fireplaces, whilst the living room, currently furnished as an office, has an exquisite bay window.

The family dining kitchen is fabulous. 34’ long and triple aspect, it has been created through the amalgamation of several small rooms and offers what modern families seek. The kitchen suite is extensive, with plenty of storage, breakfast bar and an array of integrated appliances. The room is zoned with kitchen, and formal dining areas, with two sets of external doors to the garden.

The wide oak staircase rises to a large, split level first floor landing that serves four large double bedrooms, the family bathroom and a children’s TV room/snug. The 18’ principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom, with separate shower. Double bedroom 2, a false wall hiding a dressing room. Bedroom three has an en suite shower room, whilst bedroom four is well placed for the family shower room. At second floor level there are two further double bedrooms.
