This remarkable former rectory, nestled behind St Paul’s Church in the picturesque Holme Eden area of Warwick Bridge, presents a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors. With its exquisite Gothic Revival architecture characterized by a striking red sandstone exterior, tall chimneys, and elegant mullioned windows, the property boasts over 4,000 square feet of living space teeming with potential. Upon entering through the oak panelled doorway, you are welcomed into three spacious reception rooms rich in character and history, each featuring generous bay windows and intricate cornices. The central kitchen and utility areas are functional yet ripe for reconfiguration to create your ideal culinary space.
The first floor accommodates five well-proportioned bedrooms; the principal suite is particularly noteworthy with its substantial size and charming bay window. This level also includes three bathrooms and several WCs for added convenience. The hidden staircase leads to a versatile attic room perfect for a home office or creative studio.
Beneath the main dwelling lies a cellar that could be transformed into a cozy retreat or wine cellar. Outside, the property offers an inviting cobbled courtyard surrounded by outbuildings including a detached garage, potting sheds, and a coach house—each providing exciting possibilities for conversion (subject to planning permission). The expansive rear garden leads into lush woodland, creating an enchanting environment ideal for exploration.
This property is much more than just a residence; it is an investment waiting for vision and creativity to bring new life to its historic charm.
