Description
A rare opportunity to acquire the south wing of a beautifully presented Grade II* listed former rectory, which is believed to be the third oldest building in Peterborough, dating from the 13th century. The property is beautiful, unique and timeless with a wealth of character and original features.
Situated in a woodland setting of a private development comprising of six individual homes. The original rectory is built of stone and the colossal medieval stone walls of the North-East wing were remodelled in the late 16th Century and restored and updated more recently in 2000 to create two dwellings whilst still retaining many period features including exposed beams, stone work, stone floors and inglenook fireplace.
Old Rectory offers spacious rooms with high ceilings including two reception rooms, a family kitchen, conservatory, principal bedroom with en-suite and four further bedrooms with bedroom two also benefitting from an en-suite.
The open plan family kitchen benefits from a wood burning fire and French oak cabinetry complimenting with the granite worktops.
There is a bespoke hard wood conservatory with windows surrounding to enjoy views of the gardens.
The private and secure development is entered via automated gates which are linked to a sophisticated wire-free entry system connected to communication network to each property. Old Rectory is located in a desirable part of Peterborough opposite the attractive and peaceful Green Flag award winning Itter Park with its tennis courts, bowls green and formal gardens.
