Historic Note Prospective purchasers are advised that there is a full and fascinating documented history of the property that can be made available on request. Although we know little of the exact dates, in William the Conquerors General Survey of England, the Domesday book, the Manor of Cadeby (or Catebi) is recorded as having a resident Priest since the 1220’s and Rectors since 1385. Further research by a previous occupant shows that The Grange was most probably re-built on the site of what was likely to be the original Parsonage of the village, this occurred in the early nineteenth century with Archdeacon Bonney describing a “New and Handsome” Rectory in 1842. Notes The main part of the property was believed to have been constructed circa 1832. The sash windows have been markedly improved with the ventrolla system having an 84% efficiency comparison to double glazed. The property currently has a high level security system including electric gates, CCTV Infrared camera system which can be monitored at any distance from a mobile phone or computer. There is also an alarm system which connects to a monitoring centre which then in turn contacts the owner as well as the police.
