Nibley Hall is a Grade II* listed country house with a striking Neoclassical Georgian façade (1763) over Jacobean origins (1609). The interior boasts exceptional period detail, including an ornate stucco rococo ceiling attributed to Giuseppe Cortese influence, offering rare decorative distinction in a private home. Set within about three acres of landscaped grounds, the estate includes traditional outbuildings and stables, long lawns and far-reaching rural views including the Tyndale Monument.
The main house provides eight spacious bedrooms and generous reception rooms across a very large footprint (c.12,525 sq ft), giving flexibility for formal entertaining, family living, or income-generating uses. The outbuildings and grounds create strong potential for equestrian, leisure or selective development uses subject to listed-building and planning constraints. The village setting is peaceful and affluent, with good local amenities and road links to nearby towns and the M5.
Important practical points: the property needs renovation and modernisation in parts and is listed, which will influence permitted works and maintenance costs. Council tax is very high and the rear paddock is crossed by a public footpath. Buyers should factor in listed-building consent processes and potentially significant repair and upgrade budgets when considering purchase.
This is an opportunity for a buyer seeking a historic, character-rich country estate with scope to restore and personalise a landmark home, or for a specialist investor/developer able to navigate heritage requirements and capital investment.
