Penny Churchill looks out over the beautiful and ideally located Saddlewood Estate in South Gloucestershire.
Horse history is a badge of honor in fashionable South Gloucestershire, where Rupert Sweeting of Knight Frank and Crispin Holborough of Savills are overseeing the sale of the picturesque Saddlewood Estate, a fenced 172 acre equestrian and residential estate in one of the most popular locations in the Cotswolds, seven miles south of west of Tetbury and 24 miles from Cheltenham.
Now on the market at an estimated price of £8.75m, the centerpiece of the estate is a charming Grade II listed stone manor from the 17th century, extended in the 20th century and restored in recent years, though many of the original features saved.
Overall, the home offers 7,270 square feet of bright and cheerful space on three floors, with a reception hall, four reception rooms, a superb open plan kitchen, storage room and basement on the ground floor.
Above you will find the master bedroom, three bedrooms and three bathrooms on the ground floor; and two more bedrooms with bathrooms on the second floor.
The front of the house faces west, overlooking the private porch and much of the land that has been cultivated by the current owner, who now plans to plant the land with grass.
Saddlewood Manor, South Gloucestershire.
The previous owner used 25 acres to create a polo field that was used by an underground irrigation system. There are gardens behind the house, and an entertainment complex and a guest cottage are located nearby.
Further back from the house is another cottage, an extensive stable and an impressive row of stone outbuildings, one of which has been converted into a party shed.
Saddlewood Estate is for sale through Knight Frank and Savills – see details and photos.
