Homes of the Week: The Old Rectory

Friday 3rd September 2010, 8:30AM BST.

This glorious Victorian house was built in 1942 and belonged to the church, whilst also functioning as a working farm. The Old Rectory, Market Drayton. Guide price: £875,000. Savills - 01952 239500

Rectories are certainly coming into fashion again, with Caroline McGhie arguing on telegraph.co.uk that ‘The Old Rectory’ is the best address you could have.

They also played a big part in Bill Bryson’s latest book – ‘At Home’ gives a guided tour of the history of home living, with his own address – The Old Rectory – forming the inspiration.

So click the gallery to your right for our own guided tour of our very own prestigious addresses – the old rectories of Shropshire.
