THE OLD RECTORY, YARLINGTON, WINCANTON, BA9 8DN
A quite spectacular former Old Rectory in an idyllic rural location on the outskirts of the beautiful village of Yarlington, close to Castle Cary.
The Old Rectory enjoys considerable accommodation which has been extended and improved; briefly including a reception hall, living room, sitting room, kitchen, dining room, study, boot room, utility, five to seven double bedrooms and four bath/shower rooms with 6 WCs.
The property is set within magical gardens and grounds, surrounded by wonderful countryside, totalling approximately 1.1 acres. There is a driveway leading to a large parking area and a triple garage with an adjoining workshop.
Accommodation
The Old Rectory was built in 1939 and was sold to the current owners in 1980. During the current owners’ tenure, they have extended the accommodation considerably and redirected the main orientation to make the most of the impressive outlook of the pond and countryside beyond, in addition to capitalising on the wonderful south-westerly aspect.
Steps lead up to the front door, which enters a porch that then leads into a welcoming entrance hall. The main reception rooms lead off the hall, the largest being the living room, which extends to nearly 30 feet in length. The living room enjoys a triple aspect with patio doors leading out to a sheltered terrace with commanding views over the pond. Also within the room, there is ample book shelving and a Jetmaster fire with a granite hearth. The sitting room also has doors out to the patio and is ideally suited to use as a TV or playroom.
The kitchen-dining room is a magnificent addition, perfectly designed to take in the idyllic outlook of the pond. It is not uncommon to be sitting here enjoying a view of a pair of ducks or moorhens, adorably followed by their respective ducklings or chicks on their way to the pond. All witnessed from the dining room table. The kitchen itself has an array of units, both stylish and practical, with extensive creative storage provision within. Integral appliances include a mid-level oven, microwave and warming drawer, larder fridge, induction hob and dishwasher. There are stone floor tiles and two sets of patio doors and a glass door, all leading out to the decking surrounding the room. Und...
