Nestled centrally within its expansive grounds, this distinguished former Rectory has been diligently maintained by its current owners for the past 18 years. Located just off the picturesque Village Green and overlooking the historic parish Church of St Botolph, this property presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. The home is primarily constructed with exquisite limestone and features striking mullions and bay windows beneath a classic slate roof. Inside, the residence boasts an impressive reception hall, two elegant reception rooms, a snug, a spacious dining kitchen, and six well-proportioned bedrooms spread across three floors. While showcasing numerous original details such as ornate ceiling covings and high-quality bespoke radiator covers, the property also offers potential for modernisation to enhance both comfort and style.
The thoughtful layout includes a grand entrance with an inviting stone porch leading into the spacious reception hall, complete with characterful detail including a Geo II period fireplace. The snug area features an open fire that could benefit from updates to work more efficiently. The drawing room and dining room maintain their charm but could be reimagined for contemporary living needs. The dining kitchen features quality fixtures but may require modern appliances or layout adjustments.
The first floor accommodates several light-filled bedrooms along with en-suite facilities that could see some improvements for better functionality. Additional space on the second floor provides extra versatility which could be turned into additional living areas or guest accommodations.
The external grounds offer significant potential too; currently featuring formal lawns, various outbuildings including a coach house suitable for workshop or garaging conversions (subject to planning), alongside beautiful sunken gardens ideal for outdoor entertaining enhancements. This property is ripe for creative visionaries looking to invest in substantial renovations while preserving its inherent charm.
Situated in Stoke Albany near essential amenities and excellent transport links to Market Harborough and beyond, this residence merges rural tranquillity with accessibility - making it an appealing choice for families seeking space to create their dream home.
