The Old Rectory - Pertenhall, Bedfordshire, UK - Pre-Victorian Historic Homes on Waymarking.com

The house dates from the 18th century and bears the date 1799 on its ‘ghost’ guttering downpipes. St Peter’s church stands back from the road along a gravel drive next to The Old Rectory, separated by a modern wooden fence. On the other side of the church is The Manor whose walled garden borders the churchyard has its grounds along the other side of the drive to the church. The Manor is also a waymark.

The building of The Old Rectory is an unusual rather square, red-brick design in the Georgian style. A modern single storey addition and two storey house can be seen at the rear of the property adjoining the main building. The house stands in grounds which include a lake with many fowl and a boat moored at the side. At the bottom of the garden is the Pertenhall Brook. From the drive to the church there runs a footpath taking you over the brook via a large style and beyond.
