Set well within 14 acres of formal gardens, meadows and pasture, Old Rectory is a substantial Georgian family house that combines generous period proportions with flexible living space. High ceilings, large sash windows and six working fireplaces give the principal reception rooms a warm, characterful feel; the 31x17 ft orangery/ garden room with underfloor heating and a huge stone fireplace is a scenic family hub opening onto the terrace and grounds.
Accommodation is arranged over three floors and is well suited to a busy household: a large entrance hall leads to a drawing room, study, formal dining room and a farmhouse kitchen with AGA, pantry and adjoining boot/utility. The house includes six bedrooms (four doubles on the first floor with two en‑suite) plus two further rooms on the top floor, a cellar suitable for wine storage and a self‑contained residential annexe above the garage.
The plot and outbuildings are strong practical assets: a tennis court, timber stable block and extensive storage alongside pasture currently partly let to a local farmer make this property attractive for equestrian or small‑holding use. The location gives good access to local primary schools and to larger centres (Malvern, Ledbury, Tewkesbury) and mainline stations for longer commutes.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed, which constrains external and some internal alterations and may complicate retrofit work. Heating is oil‑fired with an existing septic tank; walls are likely uninsulated (listed stone construction), so energy efficiency improvements will be limited and potentially costly. Broadband is reported as very slow for the immediate area and council tax is relatively high. These are material factors to weigh alongside the property’s rare scale, setting and character.
