Set on the periphery of Hylands Park Estate, The Old Rectory is an exceptional Grade II listed home dating back to the early 19th Century. Originally constructed in the 1820s as the priest's residence for the adjacent church, the property was significantly extended in the 1860s to form the impressive rectory that stands today. Offering nearly 4,000 sq ft of beautifully appointed living space across two floors, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished country home rich in character and provenance.
Set within meticulously landscaped grounds approaching 1.5 acres, the property is approached via a sweeping horseshoe gravel driveway, framed by mature trees and manicured lawns. The elegant facade is enhanced by striking curved bay windows, which grace the front-facing reception rooms, filling them with natural light and providing wonderful outlooks over the private grounds.
Internally, a grand entrance hall introduces the refined interior, leading to four well-proportioned reception rooms - a formal drawing room and dining room, both enjoying floor-to-ceiling bay windows, along with a comfortable snug and a private study. Throughout, original period features are thoughtfully preserved, including working fireplaces, sash windows, intricate cornicing, and soaring ceilings, all contributing to the home's enduring charm.
At the rear of the house, a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining space forms the heart of the home, centred around a handcrafted Clive Christian kitchen. This space flows seamlessly into a practical boot room and additional WC. A utility room, wine storage area, and a further shower room complete the ground floor, as well as a large basement.
