Detached house to rent in Aylesbury HP18, 7 Bedroom

Dating from the mid to late 18th century and listed Grade II, The Old Rectory is a well-proportioned family house in a private location on the edge of the village. The house benefits from an exceptional range of outbuildings including a range of garages, store, stables and a self-contained annex all set in exceptional gardens and grounds. Internally the house has a wealth of period features including original fireplaces, floors and a beautiful Georgian staircase. The house has been sensitively extended by the current owners to incorporate an ‘orangery’ which together with the kitchen/breakfast room and the family room provide wonderful open plan living but with the original Georgian reception rooms at the front of the house.

The beautifully landscaped gardens provide a private setting for the house and incorporate lawns interspersed with yew hedges, a large vegetable garden, natural pond with railed paddocks beyond. The landlord maintains the garden and pond but not the vegetable garden which will be covered if not required
