The Old RectoryThe Old Rectory is situated to the edge of the village, is incredibly private and overlooks its own grounds. The approach to the house off Rectory Hill is via a driveway bordered with lawned areas leading to parking area to the front of the house.

Listed Grade II with origins from the late 18th Century, with later 19th Century additions and alterations, the house is of coursed limestone, with coursed ironstone and limestone dressings, under a slate roof. Through a course of sympathetic upgrading and refurbishment, the present owners have maintained the original integrity and character of the house, creating a clean and contemporary kitchen breakfast room balanced by elegant reception rooms. Through the majority of the accommodation, light and the beautiful views of the gardens and courtyard are introduced through large shuttered sash windows.

The front door leads to a small lobby before a large airy hall with high ceilings, central column with Corinthian detail and arches over, wood burning stove to one side and off this is the magnificent formal drawing room with canted bay, and the sitting room, both with extensive views over the gardens. A rear hallway leads to the study, which has an attractive fireplace with unusual tiled surround and windows giving views onto the gardens. Adjacent is a useful store room, cloakroom, secondary staircase and door onto the rear courtyard.

Off the principal entrance hall, an inner hall gives access to a third staircase, the kitchen and the large, wood panelled dining room.

The kitchen is very well equipped, with a large central island, wide range of cupboards and pan drawers, AGA and built in appliances, to include dishwasher, coffee maker, fridge and larder cupboard. Doors lead from the kitchen through to a useful utility, cloakroom, boot room and gym. Stairs lead up to two rooms on the first floor with some restricted headroom, ideal for storage.

To the first floor, five excellently sized bedrooms, four bathrooms, laundry and a cloakroom, with the principal bedroom, with dressing room being adjacent to the largest bathroom, with twin sinks, freestanding bath and rainfall shower.

The upper landing boasts a particular feature in the twin domed roof lanterns, introducing light into the passageway leading to the fourth bedroom.

Stairs lead from the first floor to the attic rooms, currently used as a media room and twin bedroom.
