The Old Rectory is a period property retaining a number of original Georgian architectural features, offering a opportunity for restoration and enhancement.

The main residence was previously configured as three reception rooms, two generously sized bedrooms with ensuite facilities, and four additional bedrooms, providing accommodation for a family or potential for alternative configurations.

In addition to the main house, the property benefits from a range of outbuildings, including a former stable, which could offer potential for ancillary accommodation, studio space, or storage (subject to the necessary consents).

The property is currently in need of full renovation. A number of works have been undertaken without Listed Building Consent which require reinstatement or an application for regularisation via an application for consent. Works will include the reinstatement of traditional door widths, replacement of a small number of windows, reinstatement of internal plan involving the addition or removal of stud walls, and the reinstatement of lost architectural features including fireplaces, cornicing and joinery. The scope of works can be developed in discussion with the Heritage Consultant and Council’s Conservation Officer who is willing to work proactively with the buyer to enable the restoration of the heritage asset.

The current owners began a programme of repairs to the property but were unable to complete the works, many of which require Listed Building Consent. However, significant improvements have already been made, including roof repair, full rewiring and replumbing, and the installation of upgraded utilities (water, electricity, and sewage). New period-style radiators are also on site, ready for installation.

Please refer to the legal pack for further details on the current stage of works, planning considerations, and associated documentation. It is important to note that the property is subject to an enforcement notice and required listed building consent, and interested parties are strongly advised to consult the legal pack and seek independent advice before making any commitment.
