This fully-renovated former Georgian Rectory in the English countryside is on the market for £2,500,000, listed with Lodestone Property. 

The Grade II listed property was built in 1780, with the addition of its Georgian facade in the 1800s. 

The 4 acre property is accessed through a gated entry and down a tree-lined drive, and includes an apple orchard and a productive kitchen garden, as well as a paddock, lush with wildflowers in the summer months. There is a lovely terrace in the garden, and a pizza oven. 

The current owners have extensively modernized the 7-bedroom, 3-bathroom residence, while complimenting much of its period details, including original fireplaces, sash windows with shutters, and flagstone floors. 

The home is inviting and functional, with a large kitchen and family room as the heart of the home and lovely reception rooms. A spacious boot room provides ample storage for coats and muddy wellies after a long walk in the countryside. 

The property includes a former coach house and stables, with planning permission for a 2-bedroom cottage. 

Located in Dorset, near the village of Glanvilles Wootton between the towns of Sherborne and Dorchester.
