The Times: 'Why you really can’t get the staff in the countryside'

'An upstairs-downstairs revolution is taking place in the sticks, with housekeepers and gardeners asking for higher wages and free accommodation', featuring The Old Rectory in Stoke Hammond - a fine example of a former rectory with additional detached cottage, set within private gardens of half an acre adjacent to the village church. The cottage has its own independent access from the drive coupled with a cathedral door and external staircase leading down to the courtyard garden for the main house. On the market with Jackson-Stops Woburn with a guide price of £1,795,000.
