This distinctive Grade II listed Regency home, originally established as a 16th-century farmhouse, offers an intriguing blend of historical charm and potential for modernization. The property's notable Regency additions were crafted for the Dowager of Apperley Court, strategically located to take advantage of its picturesque surroundings. Set on nearly two acres of well-maintained grounds, this residence features expansive gardens adorned with mature specimen trees and sweeping views of the Cotswold escarpment.
The interior spans over 7,000 square feet and retains many original features while also offering opportunities for renovation. The ground floor showcases a grand drawing room with high ceilings and ornate moldings, complemented by French doors that open onto the front gardens. A formal dining area leads into a versatile study or morning room that also overlooks the landscaped grounds. For more casual gatherings, a cozy sitting room with wood paneling adjoins the kitchen/breakfast area, which is equipped with a traditional four-door Aga and includes practical spaces such as a laundry room and cloakroom. A newly constructed orangery enhances the living space by connecting these areas and framing views of the courtyard garden.
On the first floor, the master suite stands out with an en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe that offers remarkable views of the property’s expansive gardens and surrounding countryside. Four additional generously-sized bedrooms share convenient access to modernized bathroom facilities. The second floor features two attic-style rooms that could be transformed into valuable living space or storage.
The grounds themselves are equally impressive, boasting a manicured lawn that provides stunning panoramas across rolling hills to the Cotswolds. Notably, there are several outbuildings on-site—including stables, a coaching house, and a barn—each presenting significant renovation opportunities or potential conversion into additional living spaces. Current planning permission permits further development, making it an attractive option for investors looking to enhance property value.
Situated within the historic village of Apperley, this home is within walking distance to local amenities such as pubs and community facilities including tennis courts and playgrounds. An outstanding primary school nearby adds to its family-friendly appeal. Tewkesbury's market town atmosphere—with its shops and eateries—is only four miles away, while good transport links connect residents easily to Cheltenham, Gloucester, and beyond.
This property not only serves as a tranquil family residence but also represents an exciting investment opportunity in a desirable location rich with potential for enhancement or expansion.
