A graceful late Georgian former Rectory built in ashlar stone in the early 1800's. In fact, the current Rectory was built in 1826 Regency period; its predecessor reputedly sheltered Charles II in 1651, disguised as a groom, during his escape after the Battle of Worcester. The house is a wonderful example of a classical country house in a beautiful position within its attractive gardens and grounds of about 5 acres. The house offers elegant symmetry, high ceilings, and abundant natural light from large sash windows. Internally, the house has previously undergone a comprehensive, but sensitive restoration retaining its period detail and charm, while modern touches and understated improvements complement the original architecture and design. Please refer to the property summary and the floor plan for the extent and arrangement of the accommodation.
