16th-century former village rectory blending original historical features with luxurious contemporary living in tranquil walled grounds.
The grade 2 listed village rectory dates back to the 16th century and has been meticulously restored. A 5,000 square feet 6 bedroom home with expansive high ceilings, original victorian wooden parquet and plank flooring and huge rooms flooded with light from the sash windows, contrast beautifully with the carved Jacobean beams, historical lime plaster walls and brick and decorative ecclesiastical woodwork.
Refurbished in combination of period and contemporary pieces, the bespoke kitchen and pantry with limestone flooring and expansive island links to a dramatic dining room, both featuring original Victorian cornicing, skirting and full height french shuttered doors. A cosy lounge with log burner leads to a large family room both with exposed brick and timber beams and linked to a converted barn and courtyard stable block with gym, movie room and peaceful vaulted garden bedroom opening onto the garden and a large secluded entertainment terrace. The bedrooms offer a combination of victorian grandeur and cottage quirkiness with some rooms creatively constructed around the exposed 16th century timber and brick work.
Historical features such as the old iron gate to the church yard, ecclesiastical entrance porch, Butlers bell box and carved rose on the tie beam and king post make the Revived Rectory particularly unique. Set in an acre of walled grounds with gravelled winding paths and mature trees, the rectory is adjacent to the ancient church with countryside views, yet is less than an hour north of London with excellent transport links and ample secure parking.
