THE OLD RECTORY
“The Old Rectory really is a standout family home for me. With period charm, wonderful proportions and a lovely flowing layout, it’s a superb example of a Victorian Rectory set in glorious gardens and in a very popular village location. There’s also the possibility to extend into the spacious loft or develop the adjacent coach house.”
Edward Taylor – Director
SELLER INSIGHT
What is your favourite room in the house and why?
We love the kitchen & garden room space. It has been wonderful for parties, and you feel so connected to the garden.
Who do you think will be the ideal new owner?
The house has been a fantastic family home for us but equally would suit an active couple who want to live in a wonderful village.
What do you love most and why?
We love the light-filled rooms, the fabulous woodburner for cosy evenings & the privacy and space of the garden.
What do you love about the local community?
We love the school and being able to walk to the garden centre so easily. But our favourite thing is to walk the dog across to the Seven Stars for a drink or along the canal to the Honey Street café for brunch!
How easy is it to commute from here?
Super easy; we commute regularly to London in under an hour but can also easily reach Oxford, Bath, the Dorset beaches or New Forest for daytrips.
What made you choose this property over others?
The barn and the meadow were huge added bonuses. Everybody who visits is surprised by the space both inside and out. But actually, being in such a lovely spot in Woodborough, and an Old Rectory to boot, won us over.

The study to the left is a fabulous space to work from, and if you need to pop to London then Pewsey train station is a 10 minute drive!
The dining room again features a working fireplace and double doors open to the garden/family room with bifolds to the gardens, and this room in turn is open to the well laid out kitchen. This area can be cosy in the winter and opened up in the summer months to merge with the beautiful gardens. Equestrian fans will love the classic Victorian stable partition incorporated into the covered garden seating area, accessed from the garden/family room. A utility room, with vaulted ceiling leads from the kitchen to the gravelled parking area via a stable door and covered porch.

Three further exquisitely decorated bedrooms share a well-appointed family bathroom, which also includes a rainwater shower over the bath.

KEY FEATURES

Set within beautifully landscaped gardens, the property is approached via a five-bar gate leading to a gravel driveway with ample parking.
