Originally comprising The Rectory and an adjoining two dwellings, the property was amalgamated by the current owners, who created formal gardens, planted a number of specimen and deciduous tree species and installed an outdoor swimming pool. The generously proportioned house, which now requires a complete generational renovation, is thought to date from the early 1800s and now forms a single substantial dwelling with 7,000 square feet of accommodation, as shown on the floor plan over three floors. The principal rooms are symmetrical and beautifully proportioned with high ceilings, deep cornices and skirting boards and large windows, among many period features. Having formed three dwellings at one time, the layout is versatile with plumbing retained throughout, together with the three staircases that access the first and second floors. Further, the former Coach House, which is accessed off the main driveway to the north of the Rectory, forms the western boundary to the walled garden and offers obvious potential for an additional ancillary dwelling. Outside The Old Rectory sits within 2.8 acres of gardens and grounds. They include formal lawns, mature and specimen trees, including a pair of Cedar of Lebanon s, and the Rectory s former walled garden. The gardens are well screened and private, and there is a wooded Church Walk, which leads to St. Deny s Church. The grounds are arranged principally to the east and south of The Old Rectory, and include an outdoor swimming pool. Further, 7 acres of land (outlined in blue on the plan) adjoins the gardens to the south and west, held under a secure Company Tenancy and forms part of the sale. Location Aswarby is a small and attractive Conservation Estate village, with traditional parkland at its core. The majority of its properties are owned by the Aswarby Hall Estate, and most are Listed. George Bass, explorer of Australia and Tasmania after whom the Bass Strait is named, hailed from the village. Sharing a parish with Swarby, Aswarby has a public house, The Tally-Ho, and St. Deny s Church, and is well-placed for access into Grantham, some 12 miles to the west, which offers a comprehensive range of shops and amenities as well as good schooling, and from which rail services to London King s Cross take from 68 minutes.
