The Old Rectory, CrowellAbout this home

Dating back to the mid-17th Century and subsequently designed and partially rebuilt in the early 1820’s by the renowned Georgian architect John Biagio Rebecca, The Old Rectory sits proudly in its land and occupies spectacular views across the Chilterns. This is a substantial Grade II Listed village house, with wonderful period proportions and large sash windows. The current owners have undertaken a significant programme of works throughout their ownership, with great flare and huge attention to detail, and the end result is a simply magnificent and very special village house. 

As is typical of this style of architecture, the house is awash with natural light. Highlights include the drawing room, with its elegant, curved sash bay window, as well as a wealth of original period features including carved ceilings and beautiful fireplaces. The five bedrooms are all of good size and overlook the garden and far-reaching views to the south. There is also a cellar within the main house, together with an adjoining one-bedroom self-contained annexe, workshop with room above, and a studio, which historically served as the Village Hall. An astroturf “Savannah” surface tennis court sits on the edge of the 1.2 acre grounds to complete this wonderful village house.
