Description
The Old Rectory is a recently re-rendered predominantly stone and thatch property, which is believed to date (in part) from circa 1450. The house was extended in the 16th and 19th Centuries, and the entrance hall was extended and remodelled to incorporate an impressive new oak and glass entrance hall by the vendor in 2025. The current vendors have owned the property for the last 8 years during which time they have undertaken an extensive programme of restoration returning the property to its former glory. There is a wealth of unspoilt period features throughout the house, such as stone fireplaces, wood panelling, and original timber winder staircase as a secondary staircase to the first floor. Exposed beams complemented by the sympathetic restoration including high-quality, handmade kitchen and bathrooms and stone floors downstairs.

The dining room, the sitting room and the study all look south over the formal part of the garden. The kitchen/ breakfast room and the very useful utility room are in the oldest part of the house, the kitchen seamlessly connects to a large south facing terrace ideal for entertaining. There are five bedrooms on the first floor with two family bathrooms and a further WC.
The charming gardens surround the Old Rectory with the more formal lawned areas predominately to the south. A level lawn runs away to borders and is screened from the village lane by a tall beech hedge offering complete privacy. On the northern side of the house the garden is less formal and includes a fenced off vegetable garden and decorative stream. There is high-quality accent lighting under the trees around the gardens and to the main house and terrace outside the tithed barn. Two gates lead directly off to the network of public footpaths around the village. There are two thatched outbuildings creating a charming courtyard to the northern side of The Old Rectory. One currently incorporates a garage, a stable and a large storage area, whilst the other is a large open plan building that has also been sympathetically restored to provide a great entertaining space with sophisticated mood lighting, the tithe barn benefits from an open fire for heating and atmosphere.
The paddock adjoins the house protecting the setting. It has its own access from the lane alongside and direct access from the garden and is well fenced and gated. The field is supplied with mains water and has been grazed by the vendor’s sheep and ponies.
