The Old Rectory, located on Upper Street in Stanstead, Suffolk, is being marketed by Savills as a “magnificent” family home.

Set on one acre of land, the property has a blend of period charm and modern design, including high ceilings, large windows and a quadruple garage.

A spokesman for Savills said: “The Old Rectory is approached through electric wooden gates, where there is a sweeping gravel driveway beyond leading to this magnificent former Victorian rectory, which has been comprehensively renovated, enhanced and extended to create an exceptional family home.”

Inside, the principal sitting room features a five-bay window, French doors to the front gardens, and a fireplace with a wood-burning stove.

The adjoining snug offers a cosier space with a cast-iron fireplace and garden views.

A further reception room can serve as a formal drawing room, music room or playroom.

At the heart of the home is a high-spec Neptune kitchen and dining room with bespoke cabinetry, granite worktops, Siemens appliances and a central island.

Bi-folding doors lead to a terrace that connects the indoor and outdoor living areas.
