Having been a privately owned house since the 15th century and steeped in genuine English history, it has been extensively refurbished to an exacting standard. It is now available as a luxurious and exclusive private home to rent for those persons who might wish to discreetly retreat from the rigours and hassle of big city living, and relax in an atmosphere of tranquillity and charm in a quintessential Cotswold village.

Set in approximately 14.5 acres, its elevated position offers wonderful views across the River Windrush and the lake below. The Manor House is surrounded by it’s own lake, rolling fields and an all weather astro-turf tennis court for all guests to use. The beautifully landscaped gardens were designed by Jinny Blom who was chosen by The Prince of Wales to design the “Healing Garden” at the 2002 Chelsea Flower Show, which won the Royal Horticultural Society’s Silver Medal.

Constructed of Cotswold stone, this striking manor house is also mentioned in the Domesday Book which is one of Medieval England's greatest treasures, and offers an abundance of exposed beams, Cotswold stone fireplaces, many original timbered doors and beautiful leaded light windows set in stone mullions. The house has undergone an extensive and sympathetic modernisation programme by the owners, which has been overseen by the noted architect Ptolemy Dean, who specialises in the repair and conservation work to historic buildings, and the design of new buildings in sensitive locations. Appearing as a presenter in the BBC 2 'Restoration' series, Ptolemy also serves on the English Heritage London Advisory Committee.
