Discreetly situated close by the church in the quiet rural village of Pilham, offering a high degree of privacy. This superb Old Rectory is filled with an abundance of charm and character to include numerous period styled features. Set in fabulous grounds of circa an acre which includes a substantial detached outbuilding.

The current owners have taken care to respect the heritage of this period property carrying out sympathetic improvements over the years befitting a fine period residence.

The Old Rectory truly represents a special gem of a home.

The reception hall has a spindled staircase with polished hand rail to the first floor, with under stairs storage cupboard and is finished with parquet flooring.

A dual aspect sitting room with wooden period style fireplace looks over the extensive family gardens to the rear and a neighbouring paddock to the side aspect. The second reception room also benefits from garden views and currently is used as a dining room although could make an ideal snug or home study depending on a family’s needs. The third dual aspect reception is set around a period grey marble fire place with open grate and looks over the front aspect and would be perfect for a sophisticated spacious formal dining room.

The entrance hall also gives access to the more informal side of the house with a door into the farm house styled country kitchen with an Aga stove which also runs the heating system. A door opens onto the rear of the house and there is ample space for a family dining table. A practical utility room is arranged from the kitchen aswell as a walk-in pantry and lean to storage room/boot room.

The first-floor landing accesses two defined sides typifying period styling. The first of the four bedrooms is a triple aspect room with lovely garden views and a cast iron period fire surround housing a living flame gas fire. Bedroom two is dual aspect looking over the drive and benefits from side views over open neighbouring land, bedroom three looks over the rear gardens and the fourth double bedroom has a period styled fireplace and looks over the front entrance.

STEP OUTSIDE The Old Rectory

This stunning home is approached from a gravel laid driveway with established borders of a mixture of trees, hedging and mature shrubbery.

The drive sweeps around a circular lawned area with mature hedge screening which allows the drive to continue onto the detached outbuilding hidden from view to the house. The outbuilding provides two broad garage/workshops with high ceilings which are perfect for a buyer searching for a property with a facility to cater for vehicle renovations or requiring spacious work shop space. In addition, there is a temperaturecontrolled secure storage room. To the side of the main house is a further outbuilding divided into three spaces to provide a coal store, storage room and gardener's w.c.

To the rear of the house is a canopied flagged patio which looks over the stunning grounds with a lawned family garden which is screened by cleverly planted hedges. The first screens a utility area to the side of the main lawn and the second high hedging boundary is to the rear of the lawned garden with an opening to a second section of the grounds which is an orchard continuing to a former kitchen garden area to the very rear of the plot; which the current owner has used for many years in the past to produce home grown fruit and vegetables for the table.
