Country House in the Cotswolds with Famous Formal Gardens

This property is on the market for £12,500,000 listed with Bluebook Agency.

Lyegrove House is a Grade II* Listed 17th-century gem nestled in 18.5 acres of grounds and surrounded by the 52,000 acre Badminton Estate.

Its story begins over three centuries ago and has been meticulously shaped by each owner.

Built during James I's reign, Lyegrove saw modifications in 1728, including a beautifully carved fireplace.

The Hartley family's 1830 restoration brought long sashed windows and a refined east wing.

Between 1927 and 1932, the Earl and Countess of Westmorland added a porch, shields, and an oak staircase, leaving an indelible mark on the estate.

The Countess also worked with G.H. Kitchin to lay out the famous gardens, which were restored in the 1980s. The present owners have modernised the gardens with the help of RHS gold medal winning designer Jinny Blom.

Today, Lyegrove continues to enchant under its current owners, maintaining its elegance.

Lyegrove House offers 15,000 sq ft of accommodation with spacious, light-filled repetition rooms and 8 bedrooms of accommodation.

Approached through fine gates and a tree-lined avenue, the house unfolds around a central courtyard and its spectacular walled gardens featuring summer houses, a kitchen garden, and a tennis court.

In the Stable Courtyard is a wellness suite with an indoor swimming pool, gym, changing room, sauna and shower, as well as a screening room.

The Stable Yard also provides generous guest and staff accommodation, as well as extensive stabling, garaging, and outbuildings.

Lyegrove's appeal extends beyond its historical charm. Situated in a fine rural setting with far-reaching southeast views, the estate offers tranquillity while remaining well-connected. Chipping Sodbury, a thriving town about 3 miles away, provides local shops, while nearby Tetbury, Malmesbury, and Bath offer more comprehensive shopping facilities.

Lyegrove House, a harmonious blend of history and modern convenience, invites those seeking a unique connection to the past and a refined present.
