A substantial Grade II Listed former rectory in Newtown, set on a huge level plot with gated driveway and off-street parking. The house retains many period features — high ceilings, moulded cornices, wooden shutters and several fireplaces — and offers very large rooms across two principal floors plus an extensive cellar and coach house outbuilding.
Ground-floor living is generous with three reception rooms, study, kitchen, utility and cloakroom; upstairs are four large bedrooms, a dressing room and two washrooms. The coach house and large front lawn have development or conversion potential subject to planning and listed-building consents, offering future value for an occupier or investor prepared to navigate controls.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status will impose restrictions and likely add complexity and cost to alterations. The location is in a very deprived area with a very high local crime rate; council tax is described as quite expensive. Practical benefits include mains gas central heating, excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and a town-centre location within walking distance of amenities and the railway station.
This home suits a family wanting generous, characterful accommodation or an investor/householder with appetite for sensitive refurbishment and planning work to unlock the site’s development potential.
