Rare Piece of Great Bowden History

Rectory House offers you a rare opportunity to become custodian of a truly unique home with a rich, heritage and provenance intrinsically woven into Great Bowden village's history for centuries.
It is widely believed that a house has occupied this site since medieval times. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1546, Henry VIII granted the Rectory Estate to the Dean and Chapter of Christ Church, Oxford, who remained owners until 1926.*

*The sale particulars from 1926 describe a:

"Genuine Old Stone Manor House or Hunting Box, known as Rectory House...a house of “great antiquarian and historical interest”."

With mention of surviving old oak beams, panelling and its exceptional oak spiral staircase, together with elements believed to derive from earlier monastic buildings.

Today, Rectory House is a family home of Elizabethan origins, with significant architectural additions from the William & Mary and Georgian periods, refurbished and designed for modern living, in the heart of this thriving village.

Guide Price £2,250,000
