An Elizabethan Cotswolds Country Estate Next Door to High Grove
Elmestree House Estate has an impressive address, right next door to royalty.
The 117 acre country estate is located within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and neighbours High Grove, the famed country estate of Prince Charles, who purchased the 353-acre Gloucestershire home in 1980 and raised Princes William and Harry there.
On the market for the first time in 72 years, the original estate dates back to the 12th century when it was given to the Benedictine monks.
The Grade II listed house was built in 1844 by William Brookes, with a wing added in 1884 connecting the Elizabethan country house to an adjacent 17th century farmhouse; further additions to Elmestree House were made in 1900.
The stately country house has 11 bedrooms, several grand reception rooms, and lovely period detail throughout, seen in the elegant cornicing, stone floors, and mullioned windows.
The farmhouse, connected by wing and with independent living accommodations, could be incorporated back with the main house or kept as a separate property.
The country estate has a 3-bedroom annex, a detached 2-bedroom cottage, and several outbuildings for a total of 19,000 square feet of space.
Elmestree House is nestled in the heart of a private estate in the coveted Cotswolds countryside, complete with walled gardens, ponds and a small boating lake, and acres of pasture and parkland.
Just 2 miles outside the prime market town of Tetbury, Elmestree House Estate presents a fantastic restoration project for the right buyer.
