Description

The Old Rectory is a delightful, detached period residence set in a tranquil rural hamlet, boasting approximately 2.9 acres of land and enchanting gardens. This characterful home, which has been partially modernized, retains many original features and offers a blend of charm and potential for further renovation to restore its historic character. Approached via a scenic country lane, the property is surrounded by mature trees, shrubs, and wildflowers, with a driveway leading to ample parking. The welcoming entrance hall is flanked by a spacious reception room with high ceilings, dual aspect windows, and a prominent brick fireplace, and a dining room with a similarly impressive fireplace and large picture window framing the picturesque rural views. The farmhouse-style kitchen features an Aga and a large window by the sink, while a sizeable utility room houses the oil-fired boiler and offers additional storage and workspace. A boot room and storage room provide practical solutions for outdoor gear and seasonal items. The first floor offers three double bedrooms, a single bedroom, and two bathrooms, one with a bath and exposed beams, and the other with a corner shower enclosure. The property also benefits from a courtyard with a garage, stable, and storeroom, which could be restored or converted to suit individual needs. A 'Secret Garden' with wildflowers and a vegetable patch can be accessed via steps from the side of the house, adding to the property's allure. The Old Rectory is situated in the small village of Stockleigh English, between Crediton and Tiverton, with the historic Cathedral city of Exeter within an 11-mile radius. The nearby village of Cheriton Fitzpaine offers essential amenities including a public house, village hall, and shop.
