A Beautifully Refurbished Grade II Listed Former Rectory, Set In C.5.2 Acres

An imposing well-proportioned, period Grade II property with origins thought to date back to 15th century. A beautifully presented and much loved former Rectory offers elegant living space that combines original character with modern fittings. Set within its own quiet and private gardens and mature parkland extending to 5.2 acres on the edge of the pretty village of Kenn, yet just 6 miles from Exeter.

The grand entrance hall features wooden flooring, high corniced ceiling and a fine balustrade turned staircase with a large arched window letting light flood in.
