Kempsford Manor has recently been restored to an exquisite specification designed by Jade Jagger and Tom Bartlett. The use of natural materials and finishes throughout the building ensures the comfort of a true Cotswolds country home.
This Grade II listed, mid-Georgian Manor house with significant Regency additions and alternations, is a historic building constructed between 1700 and 1750. The house maintains period charm whilst fully modernised with kitchens, efficient heating systems and new services.

Set down a private lime tree drive, this 17th century manor on the outskirts of Kempsford near Cirencester embraces English eccentricity. Twisting succulents convolute over enormous windows and deep, gem like colours lead through hallways and into an immaculate array of rooms. At Kempsford Manor, sophistication meets playfulness giving a sense of unabashed fun against the backdrop of architectural elegance. The manor is made up of rich colour, bold patterns and unteachable taste, between its honeyed Cotswold stone exterior.

In recent history, the Manor House and West Wing were inhabited as separate dwellings, however, are now offered on the market as a consolidated estate suitable as a large family home.
