A prominent Queen Anne rectory dating from 1710, Old Rectory blends period grandeur with recent renovation to create a spacious family home. The main house extends to over 5,000 ft² with high ceilings, a fine oak staircase and generous reception rooms arranged for modern living. A striking living kitchen and formal gardens lead to a swimming-pool area, all set within about 0.80 acres and reached via a carriage driveway.
The property includes a newly completed triple garage with heated floor and a self-contained annex above, offering flexible space for guests, staff or potential rental income. Five to six double bedrooms and three principal bath/shower rooms occupy the upper floors, with abundant attic and cellar storage across an approximately 18-room layout. The house is noted in Pevsner’s Buildings of England, reflecting its architectural significance and character.
Practical strengths include excellent mobile signal, generous off-street parking and proximity to strong independent and state schools. Be aware of a slow fixed broadband connection and a relatively high council tax banding, which reflect the house’s size and rural setting. The recently completed renovation has modernised services, but the scale of the house means ongoing maintenance and running costs will be significant.
This home will suit a growing family, someone wanting an impressive period residence with annex flexibility, or those seeking a countryside house with character and modern comforts. It offers immediate move-in readiness with scope to personalise non-essential finishes and landscaping around the pool and gardens.
