House For Sale £2,000,000
Elegant Georgian house with views over an established mature parkland.
Description
The Old Rectory is a very fine example of a former Rectory Listed Grade II being of architectural and or historical importance and is believed to date from around the 1800’s. It combines many of the qualities of an outstanding country house: A handsome facade, parkland setting, elegant reception rooms and an impressive sweeping approach. The house is approached through gates by a gravelled drive leading to a large gravelled sweep at the front of the house. The Old Rectory is constructed of Gault brick under a Welsh slate roof with extensions to the right and rear. The front façade detailing includes four Ionic pilasters rise through two storeys supporting a shallow pediment, below which sits an elegant semi-circular fanlight. Internal features include sash windows and shutters, deep skirtings and decorative cornicing, ceiling roses and open fireplaces. The light and well proportioned reception rooms are graceful and elegant, typical of the Georgian period, with many having multi-paned sash windows enjoying the views over the parkland and beyond. Of particular note is the impressive ballroom, a later addition, and the dining room with fluted Ionic columns. The layout of the property flows beautifully with the principal rooms positioned around a stunning reception hall with Flaxman ovals and panels over doors. The entrance hall leads to the staircase hall with decorative wrought iron balustrade. The first floor accommodation is also light and spacious. The principal bedroom suite has a beautiful bay window with views over the parkland, a dressing room and en suite bathroom. Bedroom two is another generous double bedroom and has an incredible Adaartype plaster ceiling as well as an en suite bathroom. There are a further six bedrooms and two bathrooms.
