The Old Rectory is situated in the midst of Herefordshire's beautiful Golden Valley on the borders of England and Wales within the ancient parish of Abbeydore. Dating back to 1810 the property stands neighbouring the Church of St Mary. Built on the site of an earlier 17th Century dwelling, the property is built of stone beneath a Welsh slate roof. Being Grade II listed the property has the bearing of an important house, with large sash windows and matching gable fronts. Tall panelled doors lead off to the well-proportioned reception rooms having the expected period features of marble fireplaces, plate rails and decorative coving. Fine mature gardens lie principally to the south and east, laid to lawn with mature trees. The Coach House Cottage, built at the same time as the Rectory was converted in 1990 offering three bedroom accommodation. Alongside, a kitchen garden and orchard. A large area of ancient pastureland lies to the north east of the house and an area of church land, marked on the plan, is grazed by the Rectory.
