A glorious former rectory
the old rectoryWORTING • BASINGSTOKE • HAMPSHIRE
The Old Rectory
The Grade II listed old rectory is believed to date from the 18/19th
centuries. It has an interesting history believed to have been visited by Jane
Austen. The house was occupied at the time by the Rev Blackstone and his
wife and they are known to have visited Jane and her family many times at
their home in nearby Steventon.
Electric wrought iron gates lead to a carriage sweep at the front. Internally
the house has many original features, with fireplaces in all the reception
rooms as well as some bedrooms. The drawing room and master bedroom
have a Regency curve, which was copied from nearby Worting House.
Ornate cornicing and dados are to be found throughout, as well as shutters
in the main reception rooms and master bedroom. The Tuscan pillared
entrance opens into the reception hall/sitting room where there is an open
fire. The attractive and spacious drawing room is also approached from the
reception hall.
The dining room is a lovely room with ornate cornicing and a ceiling rose,
a cast iron fireplace with a glazed china cabinet to the side. Doors open
from the dining room to the terrace. There is also a three roomed cellar and
a study with an extensive range of shelving.
The kitchen has a two oven gas fired Aga and range of cupboards with
built-in ceramic hob and electric oven. The central island has a polished
granite worktop. Within the kitchen is a walk-in larder and separate pantry
which houses the water softener. The kitchen leads to the family/breakfast
room which has doors to the terrace and gardens. A part glazed door opens
to the boot room with the conservatory at one end and utility at the other.
A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
On the first floor, a half landing with large sash window overlooks the pond
and fountain in the centre of the garden. On the landing there are airing,
linen and hanging cupboards. The master bedroom, which is above the
drawing room, has the Regency curve, faces south and has a door to a walk
in wardrobe and adjoining door to the shower room.
There are three further bedrooms and a fifth bedroom or children’s den
which is a delightful split level room. The bedrooms are served by a large
family bathroom which has a roll top bath, shower, WC, and basin.
On the second floor are three bedrooms with fitted cupboards, a
bathroom with bath, shower, WC and basin.

Gardens
The beautiful and established gardens are a particular feature of The Old
Rectory and surround the house. At the western side, a garden door leads to the
walled garden, within which is the heated indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi with
separate shower room and WC. A brick terrace leads from the family room with
a built-in barbecue for summer dining. At the centre of the walled garden is an
ornamental fishpond and fountain. There are a number of pergolas, arches and
trellises adorned with climbing roses and shrubs, as well as topiary balls, box
hedging and lavender. The herbaceous beds are well stocked with perennials
and there is a further sheltered terrace off the dining room with herbaceous
beds. An area of woodland has a number of mature trees, including a copper
beech and sycamore. At the front of the house is a broad expanse of lawn with
specimen trees which include a monkey puzzle and silver birch.
Outbuildings
There is a large double garage with electric up/over doors with

Situation
The Old Rectory occupies a delightful setting opposite the church in Worting,
west of Basingstoke. The original church is mentioned in the Domesday Book
and was probably built in Saxon times with the present church dating back
to 1847. Within Worting is the Manydown Farm Shop which has an excellent
butcher and where everyday necessities can be bought.
