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.
