A former rectory in Newbourne is on the market for a guide price of £1.75 million.
The Old Rectory wouldn’t look out of place in a television period drama, with its white brick elevations, deep sash windows and immaculate grounds, including beautiful wisteria.
On the ground floor, off the entrance and inner halls, is a drawing room which is flooded by light from a curved bay window, a good-sized dining room, galley kitchen, large pantry and sitting room.

The living room, which boasts an impressive glazed roof, links between the kitchen and study and utility room, as well as a spacious coach house conversion.
The coach house includes an open-plan first floor annexe flat, with a balcony and a ground floor bathroom, which could be used as guest accommodation or a home office.
On the first floor of the main house, there are four double bedrooms and two bathrooms off the landing.
The property, which also includes a basement and wine cellar, has an oil-fired central heating system.
Outside, The Old Rectory is hidden from view from the gateway. It is reached by a shingle drive and parking and turning courtyard to the rear of the house, in front of the coach house garage and workshop. There are timber and equipment stores nearby.
The beautiful gardens, which border St Mary’s Church, are sheltered by mature trees and hedgerows, with manicured lawns and colourful herbaceous beds and borders. Beyond wrought iron fencing is a meadow enclosed by trees.
Linked, paved terraces to the southeast and east of the house are ideal for alfresco dining – and for admiring the idyllic surroundings.
In all, the property extends to about three acres.
