Summary - THE OLD RECTORY LOWER ROAD STOKE ALBANY MARKET HARBOROUGH LE16 8PZ
Six bedrooms across three floors with two ensuites
A handsome former rectory set in a huge, private plot overlooking the village green and parish church. The limestone façade, high ceilings and original features give a strong sense of history and grandeur across nearly 4,000 sqft of living space. Reception rooms include a magnificent hall, drawing room, dining room, snug and a vaulted dining kitchen with Aga — ideal for family entertaining.
The grounds are a standout: sweeping gravel driveway with turning circle, coach house (garaging and storage with hayloft), stone garage/games room, sunken garden, south- and west-facing lawns and paved entertaining areas. Further hard standing could accommodate additional garaging subject to necessary planning consents (STPP). Broadband is FTTP and mobile signal is excellent, supporting modern working from home.
Accommodation suits a large family or buyers seeking a showpiece country home; six bedrooms over three floors include two ensuites and a family bathroom, plus attic bedroom/storage. Practical points to note: the property is three storeys with steps to the front door (no accessibility adaptations), some original stone walls are likely uninsulated, and the double glazing was installed before 2002. Council tax is very expensive (Band H) and any further building works will need planning consent.
This is a carefully maintained period house with clear potential for updating and personalization. It will appeal to buyers who value historic character, extensive private gardens and outbuildings, and who are comfortable with ongoing maintenance and listed-style fabric considerations despite the property not being formally listed.
