Seller Insight
“When we bought 56 High Street from the Church back in 2002, we knew we had found something special. It was our third home in Offord Darcy, and we wanted a place big enough for family life, space to run a business from home, and room to grow. What began as the old rectory, built in 1967 to the Church’s high standards, has grown and evolved just as our family has.

“We extended the house, merging the kitchen into a stunning orangery with bi-fold doors that open into the garden, and built a huge, covered terrace for year-round al fresco dining, a touch of Australian-style outdoor living, right here in this English village. As our children grew up, the garden transformed from swings and slides to a stylish entertainment space with barbecue, dining and lounge areas, and even a raised stage. We have hosted World Cup, Euros and Ashes parties with up to 40 people, and New Year’s Eve celebrations for family and friends were always at our house.

“Inside, the bespoke ‘cognac ash’ study, created by the same craftsman who fitted out a room at 10 Downing Street, still looks brand new. A former garage is now an office with a bedroom and en suite above, plus utility room beside it, perfect as a future annexe. There is a new double garage, car port and parking for 6–10 cars behind electric gates. Outbuildings include a gym, huge, heated greenhouse, and secure wraparound garden ideal for children and dogs to safely run around.

“Offord Darcy is a village we never wanted to leave, with its thriving social life, excellent school, village hall events, riding school, shop and one of the friendliest gastro pubs you could find, complete with log fires for cosy evenings with neighbours.

“We are only moving because the house now outgrows us, but for the next family, there is still endless potential to adapt, expand and enjoy this wonderful home.”
