**the new rectory**
**Rectory restoration
**
If we were to describe this property as a story, it could easily lay claim to
being both an ancient tale and a modern classic – all rolled into one.
Sitting on the grounds of the Parish Church of Saint Helen Burghwallis’ old
rose garden, the New Rectory is a magnificent and spacious four - bedroom family
home surrounded by the history of the West Yorkshire village of Burghwallis.
Positioned between the Grade I listed church itself and the Old Rectory dating
back to the 18th Century, it was in 1962 that this house was first built and,
in its former years, had been the main residence of monks and church staff.
Now part of a conservation area and being sold for the first time to the
current owners a little over five years ago, its recent renovation from its
distinct 1960’s style has been quite astounding. This slick, contemporary home
now presents itself with high end pristine interiors and offers the best of
open - plan living within peaceful surroundings.
**Striking entrance
**
Set back at least 50 yards from Grange Lane, there’s quite a welcome awaiting.
As you drive down the track, you’re surrounded overhead by imposing mature
trees which create a peaceful woodland enclosure. Instead of continuing into
the churchyard directly in front of you, turn off slightly to the left to find
the entrance to The New Rectory.
Access is through double gates onto your private land which is marked by a
dry - stone boundary wall. Across the immaculate gravel driveway, you’ll
immediately be able to appreciate the curb appeal of the white rendered
exterior and dark window frames that punctuate this beautiful detached home.
Grand designs have been at the forefront of inspiration for the renovation
here, which is apparent right from first impressions as you enter via the
front door complete with full - height atrium windows above it.
**Open - plan living
**
Step inside the reception hallway and land on the luxurious Amtico flooring
which sweeps almost across the entirety of the ground floor and it’s time for
the home’s stunning interiors to now take centre stage.
French doors open out into a spectacular, open - plan living area which combines
the kitchen, dining and lounge spaces, overlooking the south - facing garden.
**Combined comfort
**
The thoughtfully placed large windows and patio doors that span across the
rear ensure this multi - functional space is flooded with natural daylight
throughout the seasons.
The free - flowing lounge and dining space feels minimalist, yet equally
characterful with the feature gas stove nestled in the corner. There’s ample
space to relax as a family or host a large party – especially in summer months
when the exterior doors are flung open to spill outside.
**Just around the corner
**
Wrapped seamlessly around the corner from the lounge is the stunning kitchen.
Oozing in sophistication and perfectly complementing the neighbouring neutral
tones are a range of bespoke wood - effect handleless units created by British
designer Kesseler and finished with dark Dekton worktops.
High - spec Smeg appliances are installed throughout including an induction hob
and wall - mounted ovens. The central breakfast bar finishes the space to
perfection and is made for socialising and perching with a drink while dinner
is being prepared.
Between the kitchen and the separate utility room which conceals the laundry
area and marks the former entrance to the private quarters of The New Rectory,
the current owners have also created a bar feature with a sink and shelving
perfect for displaying your favourite beverages.
The adjoining single garage can also be accessed via the utility room, which
creates a perfect storage space or could be used as a boot room area for
dusting down after an evening walk.
**A separate snug
**
To complete the ground floor before exploring the rest of the home, you’ll
first want to check out the stylish office/bedroom four conveniently located
off the hallway.
Before the property became completely residential, this was the place that the
local Vicar resided in as his office. In keeping with the original function,
it is fittingly where you’ll find the owner’s current home office. The
vastness of the space however would comfortably lend itself to be used as a
separate sitting room, fourth bedroom or a children’s playroom.
Equally chic in its décor is the spacious downstairs W/C which is located
underneath the stairs and is finished to the same impeccable standard as the
rest of the home. Textured stone effect tiling runs from floor to ceiling and
you’ll find a wall - mounted toilet and hand basin.
**View from the top
**
Make your way up the staircase and before having a sneak peek at the bedrooms,
take a moment to stop and admire the woodland views from the head of the
atrium window.
Your own private lookout gallery has been sympathetically renovated to include
a deep set oak bannister that matches and meets the lines of the original
woodwork in place on the landing.
**Master suite
**
Directly opposite the viewing gallery is the entrance to the master bedroom
which has its own green panoramic views of the rear garden, churchyard and
Squirrel Wood – a perfect way to start and end the day for nature lovers.
This room in particular has been reinvented with luxury modern living at the
front of mind, with the extension of the former fifth bedroom now housing a
spacious dressing room and elegant fully tiled shower room to form part of the
master suite.
The floor space in each section is ample, with space for a super king size
bed, ample fitted wardrobes and shelving options as well as a high spec en -
suite complete with a large walk - in shower, twin hand basins upon a floating
vanity unit, heated towel rail and W/C.
**Sleek in stone
**
Next to impress on the first floor is the family bathroom. Designed to
complement the minimal aesthetic of the en - suite and downstairs W/C, chic grey
stone tiles adorn the walls and floor of the main bathroom.
This room features a quality four - piece suite consisting of a built - in
bathtub, separate spacious shower cubicle, wall - mounted W/C and wash basin.
Sleek chrome hardware is fitted as standard and, as with the rest of the
property, absolutely no updating is needed and you’re able to soak away
peacefully straight away!
**Two further doubles
**
Behind the final couple of uniform oak panelled doors found throughout the
home are two further bedrooms. Both are ample in size and can comfortably fit
a double bed alongside free - standing furniture.
Neutrally decorated throughout, carpeted underfoot and featuring small design
details such as the solid oak wooden window sills and desk in bedroom three –
they’re ready and waiting to be personalised for the next family.
**Luxury landscaping
**
The spectacular south - facing garden enjoys the sun all - day long, making it the
perfect place to relax with a book, or entertain and host a family BBQ.
There’s space here to do both with ease, and the quaint boundary stone walls
ensures it’s a safe place to let either the children or dogs play freely.
Tall majestic trees line the outside to offer privacy and a grounding sense of
nature and, with a view of the church in asight, the exterior ambience of The
New Rectory is nothing but delightful.
The landscaping is purposefully minimal and chic in keeping with the design
aesthetics of the house with immaculate lawns, however it’s not without
interest – surrounded by low - maintenance ferns and foliage growing in the
borders.
Practical seating spaces have been created recently which include three Indian
stone patio areas – one outside the living area doors for al fresco dining,
another at the far end of the garden for a little quiet spot away from the
main hub, and finally a weatherproof pagoda covers the hot tub area for the
ultimate night in come rain or shine.
**Area to explore
**
Home to fewer than 300 residents, the sought - after village of Burghwallis is
steeped in history dating back to British Saxon times. The charming village is
peaceful and rural yet positioned less than a mile from the A1 giving you
great access to the rest of Yorkshire as well as the north and south of the
country.
Within the village itself, The Burghwallis public house has earned a glowing
reputation serving good honest pub grub and is famed among the residents for
its fun - filled evenings including a weekly quiz night.
A short drive away, you may also want to try out the recently re - opened
Dario’s in Owston or Anne Arms Inn at Sutton which can be both trusted to
serve up great meals.
Owston Hall is also home to the local golf course for those who enjoy an
afternoon putting. In nearby Campsall, you can visit Doncaster Country Park
which is perfect for when you want an alternative place to walk the dogs or
take a stroll with the children, in addition to the numerous paths right on
your doorstep. Further afield, you are less than three miles from Adwick
railway station and therefore can reach the cities of Doncaster, Leeds and
Sheffield on a direct train journey with ease.
