The house where the eccentric MP Jacob Rees-Mogg grew up is for sale – and it comes with two things that aspiring Mary Berry’s and aspiring Jeremy Clarkson’s will love
Previously marketed for £2.5 million ($3 million or €2.8 million) in April 2015, a Georgian former rectory at Hinton Blewett in Somerset is for sale once again for the much reduced price of £2 million ($2.4 million or €2.2 million). The Grade II listed residence, which was the childhood home of the somewhat eccentric Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg, comes with not only a kitchen devoted to pastry creation but also a garage for upto ten cars.
Built in the 17th and 18th centuries and featuring unusual oversized 28-pane and 16-pane sash windows, The Old Rectory sits within enclosed gardens and has 5 reception rooms, 6 bedrooms, a playroom, cellars and 5 bathrooms.
For wannabe Mary Berry’s, there is not only a Smallbone kitchen with a four oven AGA but also a dedicated Smallbone pastry kitchen with a central island and preparation areas; for wannabe Jeremy Clarkson’s, there is a vast 56-foot by 28-foot heated garage with space for ten vehicles.
The selling agents are Killens.
There is nothing eccentric about Rees-Mogg. His oratory is superb; integrity beyond doubt and common sense blatant.
Just because he likes well made suits hardly qualifies him as eccentric.
Of course, compared to his parliamentary colleagues, he is different….what a dreary bunch most of them are.
I think he’d be the first to admit he’s eccentric actually. It’s not an insult. There’s nothing wrong in being eccentric.
Yes – I think he’d admit to being “eccentric” – certainly a better epithet than those that are usually applied to him.
Overpriced and worthy of a visit from my famed wrecking ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And your stuck ‘!’ key
I think he just cuts and pastes. I wish he’d stop but plainly it’s part of his “charm”.
What an ass you are
‘common sense blatant’ In light of today’s news would you care to reconsider your opinion of October 2016, Mr. Wayde?
Love The Dinning Room.
I don’t think he’d be prepared to split it.
Envy is a sad, sad thing.
Very nice – I like to see how the wealthy 1% lives.
I wonder what his other houses are like.
