A magnificent Grade II listed Rectory set on an elevated plot with extensive gardens and specimen trees. The main house offers grand reception rooms, high ceilings and eight bedrooms across three floors, plus attic space that could serve as a games room or additional sleeping area. Two attached annex cottages and a separate three‑bedroom detached cottage provide flexible ancillary accommodation or income potential, each with independent access.
The house retains many handsome period features — fireplaces, cornices and attractive flooring — and benefits from a large kitchen/dining area, utility, conservatory and substantial storage including a double car port and garage. The grounds include a greenhouse, kitchen garden and private courtyards, with a gravel drive, turning circle and plentiful parking.
Important considerations: the property is Grade II listed, so alterations and redevelopment will require listed‑building and planning consents and may be restricted. Some internal areas show dated fittings and will need modernisation; services, appliances and electrics have not been tested. Council Tax sits at the higher Band G. Fixtures, fittings and furniture are excluded from the sale unless separately negotiated.
Ideal for a large or multi‑generational family seeking a character home in prosperous countryside, or for a buyer looking to combine residential living with holiday‑let or guest accommodation (subject to consents). The village location offers country walks, a primary school within walking distance and convenient road and rail connections to nearby towns.
