An important and charming Grade II* Listed village house with outstanding gardens.

The Court was built around 1600 as a gatehouse to Broadway Court which was subsequently demolished. Listed Grade II* as being of Special Architectural and Historic Interest, The Court was substantially restored and extended under the supervision of the well-known Cotswold architect Sir Guy Dawber at the turn of the 19th century. The property is constructed of mellow Cotswold stone beneath a traditional stone roof and incorporates mullion windows mostly with leaded lights. The property benefits from substantial renovation and modernisation including new roofing, plumbing, central heating and all electrics.

The beautiful gardens were designed by landscape designer, horticulturist and writer Dan Pearson and are set in a private location behind a high stone wall and bounded on one side by a very substantial topiary yew tunnel. The formal gardens include very well-stocked herbaceous borders, a kitchen garden with raised beds and fruit cages, a parterre and a large south facing level lawn. Other areas are planted with trees and wild flowers.

The surrounding country is spectacular and the gardens have glorious views over a gently rolling Cotswold landscape adjacent to the historic Norman church of St. Eadburgha’s.
