An Elegant Georgian Rectory with charming gardens.
Description
The Property
The Old Rectory is a handsome Grade II listed late Georgian home, with an elegant presence in an elevated position beside the Saxon round tower church of St Marys.
The house is finely proportioned, on a manageable scale, in the classic four-square layout. The pedimented doorcase opens to the delightful entrance/staircase hall, with yorkstone flooring, giving access to all principal rooms. These include the handsome drawing room, with open fireplace with marble surround and a floor to ceiling sash window providing access to the west gardens, a comfortable sitting room, dual aspect with fireplace and alcove shelving, and a useful study. the functional kitchen directly adjoins the dining room with pamment floors and pantry. A useful laundry room is off the rear hall, off which steps lead down to a wonderful garden room with fireplace.
The first floor is accessed via two separate staircases. There are equally elegant rooms, particularly the first and second bedrooms, with a further three bedrooms and two family bathrooms completing the accommodation. There are fine views of the surrounding gardens from all rooms.
It would be fair to say that the house would benefit from updating in areas.
There is currently a lift within the property, from the study to the third bedroom.
Outside
The house is approached from the north, over a gravelled drive sweeping up to the front of the house opening onto a parking and turning area in front of the house.
The formal gardens are a leading feature of the house, and have been opened for the Norfolk Garden Trust in the past. The gardens have been carefully arranged, with an abundance of yew topiary, box topiary and fine mature trees including a particularly old Cedar and a superb copper beech on the drive. High beech hedging create pathways leading to points of interest, with openings and avenues taking the eye, together with a terraced area adjoining the house with a south east aspect. The lower lawns host high yew hedging and large tapering yew pyramids, and where the drive continues down to the traditional outbuildings. These form a line of garaging and store rooms and are linked to the main house by the garden room.
To the west of the house is a further lawned area, framed by yew hedging and topiary, with two areas hosting a kitchen garden in one area and parterre respectively. The land in all extends to about 1.3 acres.
Location
The Old Rectory is situated within the popular village of Tasburgh, a sought after location just 9 miles to the south of Norwich. The village is served by a primary school and public house. Further amenities are a short drive at Long Stratton (2½ miles) which has supermarket, school, and sporting and social activities and there are a selection of good rural pubs and restaurants in the surrounding villages.
Norwich, the cathedral city, has thriving retail, business and cultural sectors, alongside renowned education for all ages. The city also provides transport links with a mainline rail service to London Liverpool Street and an international airport.
The town of Wymondham is seven miles to the west, with a Waitrose supermarket, education for all ages including Wymondham College, and a direct rail service to Cambridge.
