Church Lane, Guestling

This exceptional Victorian property, known as The Old Rectory, offers a rare chance to own a piece of history while presenting significant renovation and investment opportunities. Built around 1847 and set within approximately 18 acres of picturesque gardens and grounds, the estate includes a coach house that comes with planning consent for conversion, making it ideal for those looking to enhance its living space or generate rental income. The main residence has been thoughtfully divided into two self-contained units, featuring a total of seven bedrooms which lends itself perfectly to multi-generational living or potential income strategies. Its original Victorian features such as ornate fireplaces, decorative cornicing, and sash windows add timeless charm but may require updates in some areas to meet modern standards. The interior boasts spacious rooms including a grand entrance hall, dual aspect drawing room, dining area, and modernised kitchen-breakfast room. However, some areas could benefit from cosmetic upgrades or reconfiguration to fully maximise the layout's potential. Nestled in a tranquil location accessible via a private driveway, the extensive grounds include mature gardens and open meadows perfect for wildlife enthusiasts while also offering versatile outbuildings that could be adapted for various uses. With further enhancement of the existing structures alongside the opportunity provided by the coach house conversion, this property stands as an excellent candidate for substantial value addition through renovation.
