Herefordshire former rectory
An imposing Grade II listed former rectory dating back to the early 18th century has come onto the market.
The Old rectory is a wonderful old property built in the early 18th century, with a further wing added in the 19th century. The house stands in an elevated position with excellent views towards the Black Mountains and makes an elegant family home with Georgian proportions and living accommodation over three floors.
The rooms benefit from high ceilings, sash windows with working shutters and fine fireplaces amongst the numerous period features. The bedrooms are spread between the first and second floors and the lower ground floor, formerly the kitchen and store rooms, could be further developed and incorporated into the main house.
The accommodation currently comprises a reception hall, cloakroom, drawing room, dining room, study, garden room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room and larder, master bedroom suite and four further bedrooms, two further bathrooms and two top floor bedrooms.

The house is 17 miles from Herford and 27 miles from Cheltenham while Cardiff is a 50 miles drive.
