Description

From its elegant, perfectly proportioned Georgian exterior to its characterful light-filled rooms, The Old Rectory is a heritage gem that's ready and waiting for its new owners to move in and make it their own. Embracing 4,700 sq ft of ultra-flexible space, this superb five-bedroom detached and Grade II Listed country house has a glorious countryside location on the edge of the pretty little village of Martin Hussingtree. Combining history with modern comforts, The Old Rectory is made to measure for a family, among the many attractions, the 36x18ft heated outdoor swimming pool figures highly! An abundance of charming period features such as high corniced ceilings, picture rails and exposed timbers are showcased throughout this beautiful country house. You'll be enchanted by the elegant light-filled drawing room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room with huge walk-in pantry, study, utility room and workshop plus a sunny conservatory for enjoying a panoramic vista of the gardens and surrounding landscape. The Old Rectory has been a cherished family home for the past 40 years and is presented in good order while also offering heaps of flexibility and potential for updating and improving if desired - subject, of course, to any necessary listed building consents. Though enviably peaceful, Martin Hussingtree is not remote, it's positioned close to the A38 for swift access to Worcester and Droitwich, three miles equidistant, mainline train stations and the M5. Reflecting the grandeur of The Old Rectory, a curved in-an-out gravelled driveway sweeps in front of the house behind a mature hedge and lawn, allowing access and plenty of parking space in tandem with an additional gated and paved drive in front of the detached double garage. Much of the appeal of The Old Rectory lies in its bright and airy ambience, all thanks to the lofty sash windows liberally spilling natural light into every room. The star example of this is the simply gorgeous 30x15ft drawing room which has no less than five windows, distributed across the three exterior walls and offering a warm south-westerly link with the adjoining countryside. The talking point of this luscious room is the marble fireplace fitted with a Stovax Riva woodburner for cosy winter evenings. It's rare to find such a uniformly generous set of bedrooms, but the five at The Old Rectory are all good-sized doubles, ranging between 13x12ft and 16x14ft in size and accessed via a spacious and light landing, it's a feature in itself. The principal bedroom has a duo of windows allowing far-reaching views of the surrounding landscape, a private dressing room and Jack-and-Jill access to a super-modern shower room with wet room-style cubicle, twin washbasins and built-in cupboards. There's also a marble-tiled bathroom with separate WC and one of the other bedrooms has an en-suite shower room. Extending to three-quarters of an acre, The Old Rectory's gardens are beautifully designed and immaculately maintained. Four-and-a-half acres of hedged pasture lies at the end of the garden and has been planted with a copse of fruit trees and dotted with further saplings. A paved patio adjoining the house is the perfect spot for enjoying the sunshine, al fresco dining and entertaining guests while the remainder is a level expanse of manicured lawn, dotted with decorative flowerbeds and specimen trees. The 36x18ft swimming pool, complete with protective cover, is sited in the far corner and surrounded by a paved terrace with plenty of space for a patio set and loungers. Heated water makes it usable all-year-round, covering everything from morning laps and children's play to sunny-day pool parties. Green-fingered enthusiasts can cultivate to their heart's content in the greenhouse while a garden shed takes care of mower and equipment storage.
