Summary - Rectory Cottage, Kington Magna SP8 5EZ
4 bed 3 bath Barn Conversion
Large period barn with pool and annexe potential in secluded village-edge setting.
Extensive private grounds of approximately 1.1 acres with orchard and lawns
Rectory Cottage is an unusually generous four-bedroom barn conversion set in about 1.1 acres of private, landscaped grounds on the edge of Kington Magna. The property combines traditional stone character, exposed beams and vaulted ceilings with a layout that flows between sizeable reception rooms, a country-style kitchen/breakfast space and direct access from the ground floor to extensive patios and lawns. A heated outdoor pool, orchard and formal lawn provide a rare scale of outdoor living for village-edge homes.
The accommodation includes a large sitting room with a brick fireplace, formal dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility and a family room with independent external access that could convert to an annexe (subject to permissions). The principal bedroom has built-in storage and an ensuite; there are three further double bedrooms and three bathrooms in total, making the house well suited to family living or multi-generational occupation.
The setting is private and rural, reached via a long gravel drive with double gates and benefiting from a double garage and substantial parking. Practical features include double glazing and an air-source heat pump alongside electric heating; mains services are connected. Broadband and mobile signal are described as excellent, and the property sits in a very low-crime, affluent area with attractive countryside views.
Important points to note: the house has been well loved but requires renovation and modernisation throughout — the EPC currently rates E. Some traditional walls are likely uninsulated and the property historically used oil heating as well. Council tax is high and the scale of the house means renovation costs will be significant. For buyers seeking a spacious, characterful family home in a secluded rural setting, this offers substantial scope and immediate outdoor amenities but will reward commitment to updating and ongoing maintenance.
