Description
This stunning Georgian former rectory is situated in a peaceful and private location, surrounded by its own 10.5 acres of idyllic river-fronted grounds. The property, which has been extensively renovated to exacting standards, offers elegant and well-proportioned accommodation typical of the Georgian era, with high ceilings, ceiling mouldings, marble fireplaces, and large windows providing ample natural light. The spacious accommodation includes three reception rooms, four bedrooms, and three bath/shower rooms, as well as a useful cellar. A particular feature is the stunning "live-in" kitchen/dining/family room, which features a bespoke kitchen by Ashgrove Kitchens. The property also benefits from a separate detached two-bedroom cottage, known as The Old Rectory Cottage, which could suit a variety of uses. The grounds offer a delightful mixture of formal gardens, pasture, nature walks, and woodland with streams, a river, and a pond, making it a natural haven for wildlife. The property is located near the village of East Down, with its popular pub, and is within easy reach of Exmoor National Park, the beautiful coastline, and the regional centre of Barnstaple.
