Description

The Old Rectory, a Grade II listed former rectory in the village of Lea, offers a rare combination of historic charm, modern living, and development potential. This substantial five to six bedroomed home, dating back to around 1796, is set within approximately 1.7 acres of private grounds and features a versatile range of outbuildings. The property boasts period character throughout, including traditional sash windows, wooden wall panelling, exposed beams, and ornate fireplaces. With a full rewire already undertaken, the home is ready for further enhancements or personal touches. The outbuildings, which include large barns, a greenhouse, and a gazebo, offer scope for development, subject to planning consents.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a historic residence of distinction, with generous grounds and remarkable potential.
