Property in Somerset: The Old Rectory
Date : 05 July 2010
The Old Rectory is a handsome former rectory on the edge of the village of Keinton Mandeville, just 6 miles from the pretty market town of Castle Cary which has a direct rail service to London Waterloo.
The property in Somerset is believed to date from 1800 and remained the village rectory until 1975. As expected with a property for sale of this age many period features remain including open fireplaces in the reception rooms and some bedrooms, flagstone floors and sash windows.
Arranged over two floors the accommodation is family orientated and comprises: three reception rooms, study, kitchen, utility room and cloakroom.
On the first floor there is a master suite, four further bedrooms, family bathroom and an office. There is additional accommodation within the detached Coach House annexe which has an open plan kitchen and living area, bedroom and ensuite shower room.
A fantastic feature of the house for sale in Somerset is the 2.5 acres of gardens and grounds over which the house, in particular the reception rooms and master bedroom, have superb views.
The drive is flanked by level lawns and mature trees and the main principal area of garden is located at the rear of the property and comprises several lawned areas, an excellent decked and balustraded terrace, which has direct access to the kitchen, a kitchen garden and a large pond surrounded by lawn.

The village is easily accessed with the A303 only 3½ miles away at Podimore. The choice of schooling in the area is superb with Sherborne Schools, St Anthony’s Leweston, Hazlegrove and Bruton schools, to name just a few.
All in all The Old Rectory is an ideal family home in a convenient location.
