Description
The Old Rectory of Baconsthorpe is a Georgian house built in 1770 of gault brick, with later additions of red brick after a World War II bombing. The house has a grand façade, a welcoming and homely feel, and unspoilt charm. It features an elegant drawing room with a fine bay window and open fireplace, a spacious kitchen breakfast/family room, a library/dining room, a large study, a wine cellar, and an 11m long conservatory.
The first floor has a principal suite with a large bedroom, bathroom, and dressing room, as well as four double bedrooms, two family bathrooms, and a separate WC. The second floor has three bedrooms and access to loft storage. The house also has outbuildings, including an 18th-century barn, stable, and potting shed, which could be adapted for various uses such as a swimming pool area, wellness zone, or art studio.
The Old Rectory sits within a mature garden with a walled garden, annual colour beds, and a country house-style garden with a thatched folly and a view to the nearby medieval village church.
