Description

This distinctive former rectory, nestled in a tranquil village setting, presents a significant opportunity for renovation and investment. With its spacious layout spanning generous ground level and first-floor accommodation, the property features an inviting entrance hall, dual-aspect sitting and dining rooms with charming flagstone flooring, a practical kitchen/breakfast area, utility room, and four well-proportioned double bedrooms. The presence of two additional bath/shower rooms makes it ideal for family living or guests. Set on an ample plot of approximately 0.38 acres surrounded by mature gardens, this home offers privacy along with potential for expansion subject to permissions. The large double garage could be transformed into a home office or supplementary living space, enhancing the property's versatility. While the existing décor may benefit from updates, the structure remains sound and offers an excellent canvas to modernize and extend further. The mature garden includes established trees and wildflower areas which can be enhanced into landscaped retreats. Given the proximity to local amenities and transport links plus its picturesque rural views, this property holds remarkable potential for those looking to invest in a larger period home.
