Description

Situated in a picturesque rural locale, this impressive 6-bedroom Grade II Listed manor house offers an extraordinary chance for investors and renovators to embrace both history and potential. Originally part of Llanthony Priory, with some structures dating back to 1276, this home bears a rich legacy having served various purposes over the centuries, including as a Nunnery. The manor spans over 4,700 sq ft across three floors and features well-maintained traditional Cotswold stone architecture. Notably, it also includes a charming 2-bedroom self-contained cottage and several outbuildings that hold planning permission for conversion into three residential units, providing further development avenues. The interior spaces are filled with character and light, featuring original details such as exposed beams, flagged stone floors, and large windows. The dining room is especially notable for its historic charm with features like a stone wall and beams, while the kitchen hosts an oil-fired AGA from 1955 alongside original elements like a bread oven—details that could be highlighted in renovations depending on modern preferences. The property’s layout allows for flexibility; the upper floors boast multiple bedrooms that could be reconfigured into master suites or guest accommodations. The grounds encompass approximately 9.4 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens suitable for leisure or recreation. For those with vision, Bentham Manor presents not only a residence steeped in history but also grandeur in space and versatility—an ideal canvas for transformation befitting contemporary needs without compromising its intrinsic charm.
