A rare opportunity to acquire this impressive Grade II Listed former Rectory, dating back to the 1820s. Brimming with character and charm, the property features grandly proportioned rooms and beautifully maintained gardens. Offered to the market with no onward chain.
Description
Occupying a prime position in the sought-after village of Steeple Ashton, this four-bedroom residence has been thoughtfully renovated by the current owners, blending timeless style with impressive eco credentials. Forming part of the original former Rectory, the property has been sympathetically converted to create a stunning village home, set within grounds of approximately half an acre.
A striking stone-arched open porch opens into a welcoming vestibule, leading through to an impressive double-height entrance hall, where the original staircase rises gracefully to the first floor. The elegant drawing room offers superb proportions, featuring a tall, coved ceiling, an exquisite central fireplace, a front-facing bay window, and twin sash windows framing views over the delightful gardens. The open-plan kitchen and dining room continues the theme of elegant proportions, featuring a further impressive bay window that floods the space with natural light and offers picturesque views over the gardens. The modern kitchen is beautifully appointed and perfectly complemented by a classic Aga, adding both charm and functionality. The ground floor is completed with a cloakroom, studio, utility space and access to the cellar below.
The first floor offers four well-appointed bedrooms, including a superb double-aspect principal suite with views towards the church and over the gardens, complete with its own private bathroom. The guest bedroom also benefits from an en-suite, while the remaining two bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom.
Externally, the property is set within beautifully landscaped gardens of approximately half an acre, offering a high degree of privacy, surrounded by mature trees and established greenery. Accessed via a private driveway and enclosed by charming walled gardens, the grounds feature an array of specimen trees and shrubs, generous parking for multiple vehicles, and a detached double garage equipped with two EV charging points.
Meticulously renovated throughout with a focus on carbon neutrality, this exceptional home features a range of eco-conscious upgrades, including solar panels and a modern air source heat pump system. Offered to the market with no onward chain.
