Apperley, Gloucestershire, GL19

This historic property, originally an 18th-century farmhouse, underwent significant expansion in 1817 under the guidance of noted architect John Collingwood. The design features a striking stucco facade with five broad bays and an Ionic porch, further enhanced in the mid-19th century by H Rowe and Son with additional architectural elements that include bay extensions, a cast iron veranda, and dormer windows. Now offered for sale after two centuries of family ownership, this late Regency country house presents a remarkable opportunity for comprehensive modernization and restoration. Original period details, such as an elliptical staircase, intricately carved fireplaces, cornices, and timber floors remain intact throughout the grand reception rooms and hallway. The property also includes a cottage located in the rear courtyard with accommodation suitable for dual occupancy or guest usage. Additionally, there is a collection of traditional brick outbuildings that include stables and garages that could potentially be repurposed into residential units or commercial spaces (subject to planning permission). Set amidst approximately 2 acres of landscaped gardens alongside 4.5 acres of woodland and 12.5 acres of paddocks, the grounds are designed to take advantage of picturesque countryside views. This estate not only retains its historical charm but also offers ample potential for future investment through renovation initiatives. With intensive refurbishment required across the main house and associated structures, this property is ready for transformation into a stunning residence or multi-use development.
