Our Norfolk Georgian Rectory

The Old Rectory is an impressive Grade II listed country house, built in 1820 to designs by the architect Robert Lugar for his client the Rev John Johnson

The Old Rectory enjoys an attractive secluded setting approached via a long sweeping driveway with an approach over a private road adjacent to the church.The village of Yaxham has St Peter's Church, a Chapel, a village shop and café, a Church of England Primary School and a station on the Mid-Norfolk Railway line between Dereham and Wymondham Abbey. There is also a pub/restaurant at nearby Yaxham

Mill. The thriving market town of Dereham is about 2 miles away and Norwich, the cathedral city and regional centre of East Anglia, lies about 15 miles to the east. There is a regular train service to London Liverpool Street with a journey time of about 1 hour 50 minutes. The property also affords easy access to the North Norfolk Coast, much of which is classified as an area of outstanding natural beauty as well as the Norfolk Broads which now has National Park status. The Old Rectory is a most impressive Grade II listed country house, built in 1820 to designs by the architect Robert Lugar for his client the Reverend John Johnson. The Reverend Johnson was a cousin of the poet William Cowper. He undertook the editing of the poet's work in his study at the house. The house, which is mentioned in Pevsner’s Norfolk Volume of the Buildings of England, was designed in the Italianate style popular at the time and has many fine distinguishing architectural features including a particularly attractive symmetrical entrance facade with 3 bays with a large central open portico with 2 pairs of unfluted doric columns supporting a plain entablature. The Old Rectory is built of colour wash brick under a slate roof.
