The former rectory of North Bovey was substantially damaged by fire during its use as an hotel in 1992.
Following this, the intact remains were converted and extended into a family residence. The house and outbuildings have now been substantially rebuilt in glass, stainless steel and using stone reclaimed from the old house.
