Kempsford Manor

Tucked away in the heart of the South Cotswolds countryside, this magnificent manor house offers a wonderful setting for group gatherings, milestone celebrations, and luxurious getaways. Cirencester (11 miles) is one of the Cotswolds’ principal market towns, brimming with local shops, food producers, and historic streets to wander.

Closer still, Fairford (3.5 miles) promises a quieter pace with a picturesque high street and a cosy village vibe. Buscot Weir (7.5 miles) is a scenic spot for wild swimming, while the Cotswold Water Park (7 miles) delivers everything from wakeboarding and waterskiing to jet skiing and nature watching.

Head to Lechlade-on-Thames (6 miles) to follow the Thames Pathway or enjoy a peaceful boat trip along the Thames Canal. The stately gardens of Highgrove House (22 miles) and the seasonal spectacle of Westonbirt Arboretum (24 miles) are both within easy reach, along with the historic market town of Tetbury (20 miles).

Step through the double doors of this impressive property and enter the striking reception hall, where tall ceilings, vibrant colours and a statement sofa set the tone for your stay. From here, explore the library, where floor-to-ceiling sash windows open onto the gardens, and well-stocked bookcases alongside an open fire invite quiet reading sessions.

The main lounge features expansive views over the grounds and a roaring open fire to curl up beside. For celebratory feasts, the formal dining room is a showstopper thanks to its bay windows, wood burner and spacious dining table.

The adjacent kitchen is a chef’s dream, well equipped and complete with a pantry, while a handy laundry/boot room with a separate cloakroom ensures convenience. Upstairs, the first floor hosts five bedrooms – four regal king-size rooms and one fun-filled bunk room perfect for children.

This floor is served by three well-appointed bathrooms, all with free-standing tubs, as well as a shower room and separate WC. Up on the second floor, choose from a double bedroom and another king-size room, which benefit from a shower room with a walk-in shower, and an additional lounge/dining space with simple kitchen facilities for extra living space.
