Good morning. It is Thursday and I will wrap The Old Rectory series up with one last post of the outside. The restoration of this house, and the grounds, is going to be one heck of a mammoth task. I might schedule another visit for a years time to see how it went.
There are some brick built outhouses at the back. I wonder if they will be demolished, or they could be converted into an annex, maybe a granny flat.
I wonder if there are any hidden vintage cars in the garage.
I think a lot of the renovations will have to be taken back to bare bricks and start again.
As pretty as this looks, the ivy must be playing havoc with the structure of the building.
Let's hope someone will bring a fresh life to the house.
Check out my original post from 12th August 2013 for earlier photographs, and comments from people who have connections with the house.
Here is a link to the Rightmove site. The Old Rectory is soon coming up for auction.
And so concludes the story of The Old rectory. For now.
Time for breakfast. Thanks for visiting my blog. You may comment. I will catch up with my replies later.

Here, across the pond, they'd tear the whole thing down. Not even saving the bricks, sadly
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link Ilona. Sad story. Shame it got left to decay. What a beautiful place it once was.

There used to be a big empty house, not that big though, in the next village to me when I was a child. I first saw it when I was about 10 years old. It was empty long before then.
DeleteThe old man who owned it had died and it went to a relative in America. It wasn't sold and repaired until I was in my mid thirties. It's not the last one I've seen left to decay. I suppose if someone dies without a Will and no close relatives, the Courts take ages to sort it out.
