Setting the scene: Set high above the banks of the River Avon with stunning distant views over the Avon Ham, The Old Rectory enjoys a very private position within the heart of the village adjacent to the church and out of view from the lane.
Why we love it: Grade II* listed, The Old Rectory is a prominent detached family home of great stature and presence. Arranged over two floors (with a huge attic space not converted), the house boasts excellent proportions as well as retaining attractive period features that include high ceilings, a mixture of fine sash or stone mullions and attractive fireplaces.
The property owns a series of twenty-two moorings on the winding River Avon, which create a reliable annual income. These moorings are accessed via a gate to the meadow located some way further down Dock Lane so do not encumber the house in any way.
Dating to circa 1430 and originally built as a Medieval Hall, the property was altered for the first time in the 18th Century and is principally the form it is seen today.
The house briefly comprises 5 double bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 reception rooms, study, morning room, kitchen, pantry, cellar and cloakroom. In addition, with its own private entrance but also accessible via the main house, a compact two storey annex lends itself to au pair accommodation or Air B&B usages.

Set in the centre of nearly 3 acres of well-established grounds, the house sits on the brow of the hill with formal lawns and borders to the front and a large sun terrace to the rear with herbaceous tiers that then lead down to the river meadow and the Avon beneath. There are formal gardens, plenty of parking, garaging and a paddock next to the river.
