Summary - SADDLEWOOD MANOR SADDLEWOOD LEIGHTERTON TETBURY GL8 8UQ
6 bed 6 bath Farm House
Exceptional 172‑acre period estate with pool, stables and conversion potential.
Grade II listed 17th‑century Cotswold stone manor, fully renovated
Saddlewood Manor is a rare, fully renovated 17th‑century Cotswold stone estate set in an elevated, west‑facing position with sweeping views across 172 acres. The Grade II listed main house (7,271 sq ft) retains historic character while offering contemporary living: a double‑height open‑plan kitchen, formal reception rooms, library/media room, principal suite with dressing room, six bathrooms and secondary glazing throughout. Outbuildings include extensive Cotswold stone farm buildings, stables, an indoor pool complex, tennis court, a partly converted threshing barn and two separate dwellings (a two‑bed bungalow and a three‑bed cottage). High‑speed fibre and sizeable equestrian facilities make this suitable for large households, equestrian use or diversified estate activity.
The land is predominantly Grade 3 with around 160 acres currently in grass and approximately 12 acres of permanent pasture; soils are shallow, well‑drained loamy over limestone. The estate has historically supported arable cropping, polo and other sporting uses and still offers scope for such enterprises. The threshing barn presents further conversion potential subject to necessary planning consents, though all such works will be constrained by the property’s listed status.
Important practical points: the house is listed, which preserves charm but will restrict alterations and may complicate conversions and maintenance. External walls are original sandstone/limestone with assumed lack of insulation; the property’s heritage fabric requires specialist upkeep. Heating is via boiler and bulk wood pellets. Council tax and running costs will be very high for a house of this size. Flood risk is low and local crime is very low, and the estate is conveniently sited for independent schools, Badminton and regional transport links.
This is an estate for buyers seeking a substantial period property with established equestrian amenities, significant landholding and genuine further development or diversification potential — provided they are comfortable with listed‑building responsibilities and the costs of maintaining a large historic estate.
