Description
This rare opportunity presents a chance to renovate a historic country house, The Old Rectory, in a picturesque setting surrounded by rolling countryside. Dating back to circa 1450, the property has been extended and restored over the centuries, retaining its medieval charm. The Grade II Listed house is in need of extensive refurbishment, offering an exciting chance for a buyer to put their own stamp on the property. The impressive reception hall features exposed rafters and a central fireplace, while the principal reception rooms offer beautiful garden views. The accommodation is well laid out, with six bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a study on the first floor. A charming two-bedroom flat above the garage and stables provides additional living space. The property is set within a wide and private plot, with exceptional formal gardens, including a circular sunken garden, fountain, and kitchen garden. The grounds also feature open paddocks with far-reaching views, and a derelict potting shed and greenhouse with planning permission for a leisure complex. The location is surprisingly close to London, yet surrounded by open countryside, making it a unique and desirable opportunity.
