An extremely impressive and substantial Victorian former rectory hidden away behind trees on over three acres of land sits next to the 12th century Church of Mary Magdalen in the small village of Fleet in the South Lincolnshire Fens renowned for its huge skies and spectacular sunsets. A very recent refurbishment means the - surprisingly unlisted - property is presented in excellent order and provides nine bedrooms over two floors, three with en suites, two further bathrooms, no less than six reception rooms as well as the spacious kitchen and a great number of utility rooms, including a gym, sauna and cellar on the basement level.

The restraint in the interiors is a lesson to decorators for a house this size. Just perfect.

@leafy803 Ай бұрын

For Victorian homes, 'restraint' was not the historical approach. Victorian was usually about pattern, dark colours, themes, excess, ornamentation, woodwork often dark. This interior would be viewed as dated, colours seem more Georgian. Yes, this is the 21st Century, but it's not a lesson for decorators working on Victorian properties, it is a common look for UK.

I am no fan of this style of architecture but that said, I am very happy to agree with other comments praising this property. It’s been very well maintained and cared for and will make someone very happy if they are lucky enough to be able to buy it.

HRH Prince Charles I'm sure would approve this property's garden and tea room conservatory in the grounds. It's an amazing place no doubt and I love the fact it's adjacent to an adorable church. Fine & Country you have fabulous taste in properties and this one is exceptional.

It was restored in 2004 to Grade 2 listing standards and the gardens were redesigned and restored by one of the previous owners who had a passion for garden design. I believe he is now undertaking a major restoration of a chateau and garden in France

I’ve seen many of these rectories and do wonder if those former occupants, men of piety, really needed to live in such grand houses. Their parishioners no doubt lived much more basically I’m sure.

Beautiful but a hodge-podge of different style cornices, fretwork, and fireplaces. Some rooms are modern others mid-century, and others older. No harmony of style other than color.

whoever was the minister of that church may not have been close to God... It would be interesting to look into the people who lived in that shire over the centuries... the owners shound mention that as it would be a good selling point... just think about all the voices once there!!!

Unlisted? I would change the facade to look like a Disney storybook castle so it would look nice and spooky next to the old church. It would be so much fun. Or maybe knock down some of the walls to make floor to ceiling windows downstairs. Change the outside into stucco and the rooftops an Italian reconstruction.Maybe paint it yellow or neon green. The possibilities are endless.
