Cotswolds Estate with 56 Acres, a Baronial Manor & Victorian Gardens
This property is co-listed with Savills and Knight Frank, listed for £13,500,000.
Tucked away in the rolling hills of the Cotswolds AONB, Edgeworth Manor is a rare piece of English history—one that has evolved over centuries into the striking country house it is today. With origins dating back to the Domesday Book, the estate has passed through the hands of noble families, each leaving their mark on the land and the architecture.
The present manor was built in the late 17th century by Nathaniel Ridler, replacing earlier medieval structures. Initially a classic Cotswolds Tudor-style home, the estate underwent its most dramatic transformation in the late 19th century. Francis James, a London barrister, acquired Edgeworth Manor in 1879 and embarked on a grand-scale renovation. With deep pockets courtesy of his wife’s inherited fortune, James commissioned architect Capel N. Tripp to extend the house, followed by Sir Ernest George, who reimagined the west front into a commanding Baronial Hall—an opulent rework that still defines the main reception spaces today.
Spanning 19,494 square feet, the manor is a study in contrasts: historic details—oak-panelled rooms, stone mullions, elaborate fireplaces—meet contemporary refinements like a screening room, an indoor pool, and a helipad. The estate’s 56 acres include Grade II-listed Victorian gardens, a kitchen garden, a delightful orangery, and a private chapel. Three additional residences—a coach house, lodges, and a cottage—complete the offering.
Despite its air of seclusion, Edgeworth Manor is just a short drive from the region’s best farm-to-table dining and storied pubs. Estates of this caliber rarely change hands, making this an opportunity as much about legacy as lifestyle.
