Property Details

Rectory House was commissioned by Reverand Struan Robertson for the Church in 1954 to serve as a place of residence for the clergy before becoming a private family home decades later. The design language of this mid-century property owes credit to F. R. S. Yorke, a pioneering British modernist architect. Yorke’s work bridged European modernism and British post-war reconstruction. His designs, including Rectory House, contributed to the evolution of modernist architecture in England.

Nestled on a near 0.9 acre plot, the main house provides four bedrooms upstairs, one with a shower room en suite, a main bathroom plus a separate shower room and WC. On the ground floor, the entrance leads into a boot room and hallway where the staircase and WC are found. There are three reception rooms, a kitchen-dining area, utility room/workshop and a conservatory with access to a sheltered patio that spans the length of the gable end. The self-contained annexe was created from the existing garage plus an extension in 1998, that was further extended in 2020, and now features a downstairs bedroom, bathroom and open-plan kitchen-dining room, plus a useful attic room. The property will need modernising and there may be scope for further development (subject to planning).

The property boundary is lined with mature trees and wild shrub, providing privacy and a benefit to local wildlife. A small clearing on the Northwest border creates unobstructed countryside views, and more than half of the grounds feature a delightful pocket spinney with a pond at its basin and a zipline, roughly 30m in length, flying over it.
