5 The Old Rectory, Elworthy The Old Rectory is an immaculate Grade II Listed family house. Whilst having been extensively refurbished and renovated, particular care has been taken to retain the original Georgian features. These include good ceiling heights, open fireplaces and original wooden sash windows. The Old Rectory is a wonderful family home and perfect for entertaining. Of particular note is the large, open plan kitchen/dining area that links, via double doors, to the fabulous conservatory and out to the terrace. This creates both a magnificent family living area and entertaining space; perfect for spring and summer evenings out on the terrace. Moreover, with a total of 6 bedrooms in the main house, the additional 2 bedroom cottage and one bedroom studio, there is ample accommodation to cater for a large number of family members and guests. There is plenty of storage, including a large attic space above the second bedroom. The refurbishment works have also enabled the installation throughout the main house and out-buildings of a Linn central stereo system, centralised Sky television and Cat 5 wiring as well as a modern security system.
