7 bedroom detached house for sale

The Old Rectory is a Victorian gem which has been lovingly maintained and improved by the current owners for nearly four decades. Standing in 4.4 acres on the edge of this unspoilt, conservation village the property has a semi-rural feel and enjoys elevated views across the Wreake Valley.

Full of original features and with high ceiling with original plaster cornices, this Victorian masterpiece is entered into an impressive, oversized reception hall with original floor tiles and grand staircase. Leading off the hall are three lovely reception rooms, breakfast room and kitchen fitted in a traditional style with electric Aga. The only addition to this historic home which dates from 1869 is a Vale Garden room which leads off the kitchen and enjoys panoramic views over the formal gardens and paddock. The first and second floors are reached by two staircases and include seven bedrooms and two bathroom/shower rooms. Standing well back from the Main Street the property does well to disguise its size and electric gates open to a sweeping driveway and range of brick outbuildings which include garaging for three to four cars, first floor studio and former Victorian stables. Located just a stone’s throw of Ratcliffe College, this rare home with all the trappings of a forever home is available to the open market for the first time in over 37 years and early viewing is strongly recommended.
