Description

This historic country house, known as The Old Rectory, is a rare opportunity to purchase a property with immense character and importance. Dating back to circa 1450, the house has undergone various extensions and restorations over the centuries, including a full restoration in the 1930s. The property is in need of extensive refurbishment, but offers an exciting chance for a buyer to put their own stamp on it. The house features an impressive full-height reception hall, panelled dining room, and south-facing drawing room, all with beautiful fireplaces. The property also includes a charming 2-bedroom flat, triple garage, and stables, as well as a leisure complex with planning permission. The grounds, set within 15.4 acres, are exceptional, with formal lawns, woodland, open paddocks, and far-reaching views. The property is located in picturesque Chipstead village, surrounded by open countryside and just a short distance from the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Despite its rural setting, the property is highly accessible to London.
