Fine Suffolk rectory
A substantial former rectory in Suffolk, with a coach house, cottages and a manege, has come to the market


The Old Rectory, in Drinkstone near Bury St. Edmunds, was built around 1760 for Rev. Richard Moseley on the site of an earlier house. It is an exceptionally fine Grade II* Listed property, admired by Pevsner and constructed in red brick under hipped slated roofs with internal chimneys.
There are 8 bedrooms, a drawing room, dining room, library/sitting room and a kitchen/breakfast room. On the lower ground floor is a playroom and stores.
Outside are walled gardens, landscaped gardens and a swimming pool. Further accommodation is provided by a coach house with 2 apartments and the restored Old Rectory Farm which includes a cottage and stable complex offering potential to create a separate private house.
The house is on jointly with Jackson-Stops & Staff (01284 700535) or Savills (01284 731100). £2.5 million

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by His Majesty The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
