Description

Presenting a distinguished Victorian country residence, this property, known as The Old Rectory, built around 1847, encompasses approximately 18 acres of lush gardens and grounds. It features a coach house with approved planning consent for conversion, offering substantial renovation opportunities. The property is currently divided into two self-contained units each with four to five bedrooms, making it ideal for diverse living arrangements, potential rental income, or as an extensive family home. The main residence preserves numerous original Victorian elements such as ornate fireplaces and sash windows while providing ample living space of around 4,500 sq ft. It includes an elegant entrance vestibule leading to a spacious hall, a dual-aspect drawing room filled with natural light, and a formal dining room that overlooks the scenic grounds. It also offers a versatile kitchen-breakfast area and additional rooms suitable for various uses. The adjoining cottage has been modernized to present an open-plan lifestyle with contemporary fixtures and generous bedroom layouts, enhancing the property's versatility. Outside, the expansive grounds are designed for nature enthusiasts featuring mature gardens and woodlands alongside several characterful outbuildings including workshops with vehicle access. With existing planning permission for converting the coach house into further residential accommodation, this estate presents significant investment potential in an idyllic rural location. Situated down a private driveway surrounded by mature trees, this unique home provides both serenity and grandeur while being conveniently close to local amenities in Pett village and outdoor attractions in Guestling Woods.
