Summary - The Rectory, Warwick Bridge CA4 8RF
5 bed 3 bath Detached
A substantial Victorian rectory with huge gardens and conversion potential.
Over 4,000 sq ft across main house, coach house, byre and garage
A striking Victorian rectory set behind St Paul’s Church, The Rectory offers over 4,000 sq ft across three linked buildings and four floors. Rich period detail — red sandstone façades, mullioned windows, bay features and tall chimneys — gives the house instant character, while spacious reception rooms, a large principal bedroom and attic/ cellars provide flexible living and leisure spaces for a growing family.
The grounds are a major asset: a walled cobbled courtyard, detached garage, coach house, byre and outbuildings surround expansive formal lawns, mature trees and an orchard, with private woodland beyond. Outbuildings provide useful storage now and clear scope for workshops, home offices or ancillary accommodation subject to planning (STPP).
Practical realities are important. The property needs renovation and modernisation throughout — the walls are traditional sandstone with assumed no cavity insulation, the EPC is D and the house is on Council Tax band F (noted as expensive). This is a project for buyers with vision and budget for structural and energy upgrades, but the result would be a rare, characterful family home in an affluent, low-crime rural village with excellent mobile and fast broadband connectivity.
