About Rectory Homes

Rectory Homes was founded in 1991 and is a privately owned developer based in Haddenham, Buckinghamshire. It creates new homes on selected sites across London and the Home Counties, with projects in Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Surrey, Hertfordshire and Middlesex. Bespoke house designs are developed around each location, rather than relying solely on a standard range. The company manages the process from site selection and planning through construction and aftercare, with its Rectory Foundation supporting local charities and community causes.
