The Old Rectory

Impressive former rectory offering character and generous accommodation space.


Description

The old rectory is thought to date c1850s. Following the end of its use by the Church in Wales it has been used for a variety of uses including a school and private home. The current owners have undertaken major restoration and refurbishment pf the property in recent years in order to bring it back to its former glory. They run the property as a successful holiday let as well as a retreat for themselves when time allows. They have also started work renovating the attached annexe that will provide useful further accommodation space for future owners.

Accommodation Ground Floor
A welcoming covered entrance porch leads into the spacious reception hall with exposed wood floor. Doors lead off the hall to the principal reception rooms. On the left is the large living room with exposed wood floor, window seats and shutters, elegant bay with French doors leading out onto the terrace and the warm focal point of a wood burning stove. This room is open plan via an arched opening into a second seating area that again overlooks the terrace area. On the right of the reception hall is another reception room with a bay window that overlooks the courtyard drive. This room also has a warm wood burning stove. Further along the hall behind this reception room is the dining room with tiled floor and French doors that lead out to the rear garden area.

Steps lead down from the hallway to a cellar area.

The principal bedroom enjoys the use an en suite shower room while there are two separate bathroom suites (one with the addition of a separate shower with body jets) that serve the other three bedrooms.
