A Grade II listed former rectory in Hepworth is on the market at a guide price of £1.65 million.
The Old Rectory was built around a 17th century core, which is said to have stood on a moated site. In 1820, the property was extended and remodelled in a Georgian style to reflect the social standing of the rector.
Today, The Old Rectory is a family home with lots of character, including sash windows and feature fireplaces. The property is set in 4.37 acres of grounds with a guest cottage, a converted barn and a number of outbuildings.
On the ground floor of the main house there’s plenty of living space, including three reception rooms, a kitchen/diner, laundry room, pantry, cloakroom and boot room.
Upstairs, there’s six bedrooms and three bathrooms.
Next to the main house is The Old Dairy, which has recently been renovated, and is now a two-bedroom guest cottage.

Also in the grounds is a large, converted 18th century barn, which is a large open space with a kitchen and cloakroom, as well as further outbuildings for garaging and storage.
Further outbuildings include a brick-built double garage, timber sheds, storage areas between the main house and The Old Dairy and a large chicken coop.
The Old Rectory stands in secluded, mature grounds, and is approached by a long sweeping driveway.

There are formal gardens, which are partially laid to lawn and divided by mature hedging, with a paved terrace abutting the south-west of the property offering an ideal alfresco dining area.
There's also an orchard, a landscaped vegetable garden and a post and railed meadow.
Hepworth is situated approximately 12 miles from Bury St Edmunds and 10 miles from Diss, with the nearby villages of Barningham, Stanton and Rickinghall offering a good range of amenities.
