If you’re a fan of Bridgerton or Downton Abbey, you have probably fallen in love with the gorgeous Georgian residences where they were filmed.
The Old Rectory at Dronfield was built in the same period and boasts grand proportions, stunning architecture and original features. Located on Chapel Street, in the historic quarter of the town, the detached house sits in 0.75 acres of walled gardens where it enjoys exceptional privacy.
This beautiful property is now on the market for £1.5million. A spokesperson for estate agent Dales & Peaks said: “For all its scale, The Old Rectory never feels imposing for the sake of it. It is a substantial Georgian house that has evolved into a home designed for modern life, somewhere with the grandeur and architectural detail you would expect from a property of this calibre, but with the warmth, practicality and flexibility that makes it genuinely exciting to live in.”
Offering an impressive 5,887 sq ft of accommodation, The Old Rectory comprises two homes: the magnificent six-bedroom rectory itself, alongside The Barn, a two-bedroom annexe with its own private outside space.
Period features including stunning fireplaces and exposed timber beams are retained within the rectory which has been adapted for modern life with the inclusion of a modern open-plan kitchen and dining area, a private cinema room and sauna.
