Former Royal Retreat in the Cotswolds
Nether Lypiatt Manor came to market at double the asking price that the Prince and Princess of Kent sold it for in 2005 after living in the Cotswolds house for 25 years, following extensive renovations to restore the Neoclassical residence to its former glory.
Period details include ornate fireplaces, intricate cornicing, and wood panelling throughout the well proportioned rooms of the 10 bedroom home.
Nestled in 96 acres of prime Cotswolds countryside near the market town of Stroud, the residence is surrounded by meticulously landscaped formal gardens by renowned designers, featuring beautiful planting schemes throughout and several distinct garden rooms.
Nether Lypiatt also has a series of outbuildings, garages, and stables on the estate, and the current owner has also invested time and research" into scoping out the land's potential as a vineyard.
The Neoclassical manor was built in 1698 for Judge Cox, a notorious hanging judge, its rumoured the estate comes with a few ghosts, including the judge’s son who is said to have hanged himself in one of the rooms.
Even with the rumoured ghosts, we can see the appeal of this incredible Cotswolds manor.
