Old Rectory property for sale, Chippenham
Date : 28 March 2010
Approached via wrought iron gates in a high stone wall (opposite Dauntsey Park House and the Parish Church), the property for sale is swaddled by beautiful mature trees and to the right of the drive lawns lead to terraces which drop down to the River Avon (there is ¾ mile of single bank fishing currently leased out).
To the rear of the house there is a paved terrace and a ha-ha with views over the surrounding countryside.
Roboan was constructed in 1829 of cut stone and red brick under a Welsh slate roof with beautifully crafted stonework including gargoyles, castellated parapets and fine chimney stacks.
Inside there are large mullioned windows (making the property naturally light and airy), high ceilings throughout, carved panelling, fabulous stone fireplaces and many other impressive features.
The property for sale has been in the vendor’s ownership for over fifty years and is currently laid out partly as a family home and partly as two separate flats, which could easily be reverted to make an exceptional and flexible family home.
