A 'quintessential' Georgian rectory with six bedrooms and one and a half acres of land could be yours for £2.75 million.

Built in 1740, the Old Rectory on Church Street, Davenham, is situated on the edge of the village, the ideal location for someone seeking a home that is both well-placed and private.

The house, marketed by Savills, sits within landscaped south-facing gardens with views over agricultural and parkland to the rear.

The interior has undergone a complete, striking and elegant restoration in recent years by Mark Gillette Designs of Chester.

Glowing Rhodesian teak herringbone floors run throughout the main reception rooms, and the Minton-tiled hall has a wonderful working period fireplace.

The main staircase continues up to the second floor which has been re-crafted to create two further bedroom suites and a gym/playroom, with rich walnut flooring extending throughout the landing and bedroom areas.
