Ground Floor

The imposing entrance door opens to the spacious hall which has a quarry tiled floor continuing through into an inner lobby, cloakroom and dining room. A sweeping Georgian staircase leads to the first floor. The cloakroom is fitted in a Heritage suite of wash basin and low level WC. There are fitted oak storage cupboards and drawers as well as part panelled walls.

Reception Rooms

The sitting room is a bright dual aspect room with views over the gardens. It has a Queen Anne marble fireplace with open grate. The drawing room is Georgian with a marble open fireplace, and a floor to ceiling sash bay window which overlooks and opens onto the formal gardens. The study/family room is triple aspect and has a door to the garden. It is currently used as a home office, and is positioned away from the other principal reception rooms. An inner lobby has access to the dining room which has the original built in storage cupboards and a shuttered sash window to the front.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room

The kitchen/breakfast room has been extensively refitted and has a range of largely cream fronted Shaker style Siematic units with Corian work surfaces. A recess houses the two oven gas fired Aga with storage cupboards and granite work surfaces either side. Other integrated appliances include a dishwasher, an American style fridge/freezer and a gas hob with an extractor over and an electric oven under. A door opens to the rear courtyard.

Utility Rooms

The indoor utility room has plumbing for a washing machine and a freestanding gas fired boiler. The outside utility room has fitted storage cupboards together with a stainless steel sink and drainer. It opens onto the courtyard close to the kitchen.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms

The classic Georgian staircase first rises to a mezzanine level leading to bedrooms three and four which both overlook an English rose garden and together can be used as a suite. The staircase continues further past a large window to a light and airy landing which has a storage cupboard. The guest bedroom has an original fireplace and a commanding view over the main lawn. A new shower room has been installed opposite. The master bedroom also has an original fireplace, a vaulted ceiling and dual aspect windows with views of both the main and front gardens. The recently fitted en suite Bayswater bathroom has a large vanity wash basin with drawers, a heated towel rail and a window overlooking the front garden. Bedroom five is a small double room currently used as a dressing room. Bedrooms six and seven stretch further across the front of the house. The family bathroom has been newly refurbished and overlooks the inner courtyard.

Gardens and Grounds

The Old Rectory is well screened from the road and from the neighbouring properties. It is entered via a timber five bar gate to the driveway which leads to the front of the house providing parking facilities, and continues on to the detached garage block which has a newly fitted alarm system and an electric car charger, and is an extensive building incorporating a garage with twin timber doors, a stable and a tack room, whilst at the rear is an open fronted barn. There is a nearby greenhouse. The gardens surround the property and are a combination of shaped lawn areas with inset borders and an abundance of native broad leaf and coniferous trees as well as shrubs, plants and seasonal flowers. There is also a large pond and a separate rose garden. Further from the house there is a full sized hard tennis court with a meadow and spinney beyond, and a vegetable garden.

Courtyard and Swimming Pool Complex

At the rear of the house is an enclosed courtyard for outdoor entertaining and barbeques. There is a garden store and access to the detached building which houses the indoor swimming pool, which is of varying depths, and a hot tub. It has a high panelled roof, seating areas and full length sliding glazed doors to two sides. There is a changing area which has a shower cubicle, wash basin and low level WC as well as a sauna. To the rear of the building is the separate plant, filtration and boiler room servicing the swimming pool.
