House For Sale £1,150,000
The Old Rectory is a spacious period family house understood to have been built by Lord Lyttelton, whose family seat was Hagley Hall, for the Vicar of St Andrews in 1910. It offers a host of original features including stone sills, keystones to the windows, an ornate stone portico framing the front door with a fan light above, high ceilings, panelled doors, coving, picture & dado rails and large sash windows creating a very light and airy living space.
The current owners have extended and updated the property including a kitchen extension and re-fitted bathrooms so that period character combines with a contemporary modern living space.
The solid front door opens to a vestibule with quarry tiled flooring and an inner door opens to a fine entrance hall with refurbished parquet flooring that continues through into the three reception rooms. Off the entrance hall is a boot room with a wash hand basin and a separate W.C. With quarry tiled flooring.
The drawing room has a square bay and a log burner set on a slate hearth with a limestone surround, whilst the dining room has a working fireplace with a fine carved wood surround and French doors opening to the garden. The focal point of the sitting room is a bay window with a window seat.
The open plan, multi-level kitchen/family room is outstanding and very much meets modern day family living requirements. The custom fitted handmade kitchen includes a breakfast island, quartz worktops, double Belfast sink and an integrated dishwasher and fridge. The gas fired four oven Aga with electric module is available by separate negotiation. From the kitchen, steps lead up to a breakfast area on the right and further steps lead to the family room off to the left with both areas enclosed by a glass balustrade. The family area features a ceiling lantern and two sets of bi-fold doors opening to the garden terrace.
Off the rear inner hall are doors to a large pantry, a store/boiler room and the fitted utility room, which includes tall pantry cupboards and space for various additional appliances including a separate washing machine and tumble dryer.
From the inner hall is also a door to the pool complex. It includes a changing room with an outside door, wet room, heated indoor swimming pool that was re-lined just under a year ago and has bi-fold doors to the rear garden terrace and a door to the large games room/gym with a projector and screen.
A traditional wide turning staircase from the entrance hall rises to a galleried landing. The principal bedroom has built-in wardrobes and an en suite with a shower bath, including rainfall and hand held shower heads. There are four further double bedrooms, two of which have traditional feature fireplaces and these rooms are served by a large sumptuous family bathroom, with a freestanding bath and a walk-in double shower with rainfall and hand held shower heads.
The top floor attic room could be used as a sixth bedroom or a study and doors at either end of the room open to two eaves storage areas.
The grounds are fully enclosed and private. Electric gates open to driveway parking for several cars in front of the attached single garage. From the driveway, a gate in a picket fence opens to the lawned gardens that wrap around from east, to south, to west and include a recessed trampoline.
A paved path extends from the front of the house, along the southern elevation, past a raised ornamental fish pond to composite decking steps that lead up to the rear decked terrace, offering a perfect spot for al fresco dining under the wind-out canopy. Bi-fold doors open up to the rear terrace from the kitchen/family room and indoor swimming pool, creating a superb outdoor combined with indoor entertaining space. Adjacent to the terrace is a hot tub available by separate negotiation.
There is also a log cabin home office/hobby room with French doors, power and light at the rear of the garden.
