Description

Understood to date from 1930, The Rectory represents a superb opportunity to acquire a handsome six bedroom period house, extending to nearly 3,000 sq ft. Sitting in one acre of gardens and grounds, offering huge scope to modernise and update, the property is available for the first time in nearly a hundred years and is brought to the market with no onward chain.

Upon entering the house you are immediately struck by a sense of arrival. A central hallway leads you into a spacious triple aspect sitting room, light and bright with feature wood burning fireplace and two separate doors out into the delightful rear gardens. A family room with equally as impressive proportions also boasts a wood burning fireplace with decorative brick surround, westerly views and access out to the front garden. A large dining room at the rear of the house, spacious family kitchen with boot room, adjoining breakfast room and convenient utility area complete the downstairs accommodation.

A wide, ornate, staircase carries you up from the central hallway to a wide first floor landing space. The double aspect principal bedroom is generous in size benefiting from an en suite shower room. A further five bedrooms, four of which are doubles, are practically configured, complimented by a conveniently positioned family bathroom and separate, additional, WC. A second, less formal, staircase allows access back down to the ground floor.

The property sits centrally in its plot of one acre with far reaching views to the front towards Holmbury Hill and peaceful views over a large field and and woodland to the rear. Whilst requiring some attention, the gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, with a number of mature trees, offering the perfect place to relax and entertain.

The house is approached down a pleasant driveway via a wooden five bar-gate. There is ample parking for a number of vehicles, a secure double garage with attached WC and separately accessed overhead accommodation which could be used as a home office or studio.
