Step inside this gorgeous 17th-century former rectory less than 20 minutes from Bedford

Blimey… this property is the stuff of dreams.

Less than 20 minutes’ drive away in Clophill, this handsome Grade II listed 17th-century former rectory overlooks the parish church and with open countryside beyond.

Set back from the High Street, this gem has SIX bedrooms, FOUR bathrooms and more reception rooms than you can shake a millionaire’s fancy stick at.

It’s taken as read this Brobdingnagian bad boy has a hefty price tag but we can still have a nosey around – it will set you back £2.3 million and is on the market with Orchards Estate Agents, Ampthill.

So what else has it got?

Well, it's been extensively renovated and restored, retaining the character – and extends to approximately 5,200 sq ft.

At the heart of the house is the newly-installed bespoke kitchen and breakfast room, complete with Neff and Miele appliances. Outside, there’s even a summerhouse and a hot tub.
