Tormarton Court is a fine Georgian family home in the Cotswolds countryside.

The Grade II-listed property was once a part of the Duke of Beaufort’s Badminton estate in south-west Gloucestershire, one of the biggest estates in England and the place where badminton was invented in 1863.

Located in the village of Tomarton, the Cotswolds stone house was originally built in the 16th century and altered over the centuries, with the present-day house remodelled in 1812 as a rectory for the Duke of Beaufort’s son, Lord William Somerset, who served as a rector of St Mary Magdalene Church, across the lane.

Set in 10 acres in the beautiful Cotswolds countryside, Tormarton Court is surrounded by incredible gardens, once open to the public as part of the National Garden Scheme.

Formal gardens extend out from the terraces, perfectly positioned to capture the evening sun. There’s an Italian-style courtyard, rose gardens, and a restored central walled garden with a swimming pool.

The grounds could be further expanded with a tennis court and stabling, subject to consents. Hidden from view of the main court is the period stone barn, which the owners have restored and rented out as offices.

Inside, the Georgian family home has an abundance of fine period details with original stone floors, working fireplaces, panelled doors, and delicate cornicing throughout.

The property’s ecclasiatical heritage is noted in the family sitting room, once the Rector’s room in the entrance hall, which leads to a spacious inner central hall featuring an oval roof lantern which illuminates the oak staircase and spills into the reception rooms.

Both the drawing room and morning room open out onto the terraces which surround the home, and the large boot room and games room also provide separate access to the outdoors.

The 7-bedroom home has a large family kitchen with breakfast room, overlooking the courtyard.
