Description
LOCATION
The Old Rectory stands at the heart of Newport which is a thriving Shropshire town with a wealth of local facilities. The town centre boasts a wide and diverse selection of local shopping amenities which are more than sufficient for everyday needs.
Motor communications are excellent with the A41 and A5 corridors providing fast access to Wolverhampton City Centre, Stafford, Shrewsbury and the former new town of Telford whilst the motorway network is accessible via the M54 which facilitates access to the entire industrial West Midlands and beyond.
Newport is particularly well served by schooling with the highly regarded Adams Grammar School and Newport High School for Girls both being within walking distance of the residence.
DESCRIPTION
The Old Rectory is a fine Georgian house with a classically balanced three-bay facade which is typical of the period. The property is constructed of mellow brick over two storeys with twelve-pane sash windows to the front and a handsome, stone portico porch creating a notable and impressive entrance.
The property has been thoughtfully re-modelled internally by the current sellers and provides a comfortable blend of both formal reception rooms and more relaxed living areas including a stunning living space afforded by the kitchen, breakfast room and adjoining sitting room.
The house was originally built in 1760 by the Wilkinson family who were rich local industrialists from Ironbridge. The Old Rectory has had a varied history with previous uses both as a doctor's surgery and boarding lodgings for Adams Grammar School.
All of the rooms are of excellent proportions with tall ceilings to both the drawing and dining rooms and there is a wealth of beautiful and intricate plasterwork throughout.
ACCOMMODATION
Tall, panelled double doors with a fanlight above open into the wonderful reception hall which is a particularly inviting entrance with polished Parquet flooring and acanthus leaf moulded cornicing. Glazed double doors from the hall open into the breakfast room and create a charming view through to the gardens. There is a large drawing room with two, shuttered windows to the front, deep, moulded cornicing and a marble fireplace and parquet flooring. The dining room has two shuttered windows to the front, a fine marble fireplace, parquet flooring and deep ceiling cornice with oak leaf relief.
The spacious breakfast kitchen has a comprehensive range of contemporary, Shaker style units with co-ordinated centre island with granite surface and breakfast bar and a full range of appliances. There are double glazed windows and French doors to the rear garden and the kitchen opens into the breakfast room with a double glazed Atrium style ceiling, windows and door to the garden and glazed double doors to the sitting room with a Minster stone style fireplace with fitted mahogany dressers to either side and ceiling cornice. The arrangement of the kitchen, breakfast room and sitting room creates a fine everyday living area with the kitchen benefitting from a notable vaulted ceiling to part. Accessed off the kitchen is a laundry with rear hall beyond with a fitted cloakroom, internal door to the garage and a study and there is also a useful range of cellars.
An elegant three-rise staircase with mahogany banister rises from the reception hall to the galleried landing with some particularly fine plasterwork and an arched window overlooking the rear garden. There are six bedrooms in total, all of which are of excellent proportions with one benefitting from a fireplace with a reeded surround and one benefitting from a Coalbrookdale style fireplace and fitted double wardrobe. There is a house bathroom with a well appointed white suite of a peninsular bath, WC, pedestal wash basin, separate shower cubicle, part timber-panelled walls and wardrobe / linen cupboards together with a house shower room with a well appointed white suite.
OUTSIDE
The house stands within substantial town centre grounds with a wide frontage with two pairs of wrought iron gates opening onto a sweeping carriage driveway with a semi-circular front lawn, wrought iron railings and a driveway at one side leading to the garage.
There is secured side access to the part-walled rear garden which is primarily laid to lawn with a paved patio, large, stocked beds and small tree-studded copse to the rear.
The rear garden is of an excellent size for a property of this nature within this location and provides a fitting backdrop to a house of this calibre.
