The Old Rectory, Church Street, Barlborough, Chesterfield S43

Nestling in this sought after village, The Old Rectory is a distinguished Grade II Listed Georgian detached residence that offers a unique blend of historical elegance and modern potential. Featuring rendered elevations, original shuttered sash windows, fireplaces and a Welsh slate roof this fine home historically was the residence for the rector of St James Church with the accommodation of 4,334 sq ft over four floors.

As you enter, you are greeted by an impressive hallway and sweeping staircase to the landing, characterised by high ceilings that enhance the sense of space and light throughout the property. The property also includes a 'servants staircase' leading to the upper floor quarters, a nod to its storied past, and large vaulted cellar with additional storage.

The property, while in need of modernisation, presents an exciting opportunity to create a stunning living space tailored to your family's needs. The extensive grounds surrounding the property are equally impressive, featuring a gravelled gated driveway and a former coach house, providing ample outdoor space for recreation and relaxation.

Overlooking the church, The Old Rectory is not just a home; it is a residence that invites you to embrace a lifestyle of comfort and standing. With its rich history and potential for transformation, this property is a rare find standing in the heart of Barlborough with excellent transportation links to the motorway network along with Sheffield, Leeds, Nottingham and nearby Sherwood Forest. Whether you are looking to create a large family home or simply wish to enjoy the grandeur of a bygone era, The Old Rectory is a remarkable opportunity not to be missed.

Valuers Note

Rarely do we see a property of this nature come to the market and we are excited to have the privilege to offer this fine home for sale. I believe that once modernised, the property would offer outstanding accommodation in a perfectly tranquil village setting, yet close to the motorway network links for ease of access both north and south. Having very large rooms, many traditional features and extensive grounds, the property would make an exceptional home.
