An impressive detached rectory requiring updating or having further redevelopment potential, stpp

This former village Rectory is set behind wrought iron gates opening to a gravel drive in a delightfully private and secluded location within its own grounds of approximately two acres (stms) and partly surrounded by a moat. We understand the house has its origins in the 13th Century but has, over the last few hundred years, been added to and extended and now provides well proportioned accommodation extending to over 5,000 sq.ft. with many unique architectural features including a Georgian staircase, marble fireplaces and panelled internal doors. The property now requires updating and would provide a substantial and delightful private residence. Alternatively, there is the possibility that the house could be converted into apartments or housese and the grounds used for residential development. We understand that the Church Commissioners have indicated they would be amenable to this suggestion, subject to planning permission.
