A wisteria-clad dreamland


When it comes to the luxury property market, the Cotswolds is a real celebrity hotspot – and this £12 million estate is sure to catch the eye of any A Lister. Here’s everything you need to know.

Inside Little Barrow, A Historic Country Estate In The Cotswolds

Oak-panelled dining room with long wooden table.

The site of this gorgeous house dates back as far as 1066, and it was even listed in the Domesday Book. The house that stands upon it, meanwhile, was built in 1734 – but it’s since been expertly refurbished to create a truly luxurious home.

Behind the spectacular Cotswolds limestone façade – complete with handsome stone mullioned windows and garlands of wisteria, of course – you’ll find eight bedrooms, six bathrooms and four reception rooms.

Living room with red sofas and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves.

The ground floor boasts an oak-panelled library, a neighbouring oak-panelled dining room, and a breathtaking drawing room, plus a huge kitchen/breakfast room and a dedicated ‘coffee room’ leading out to the garden. 

Upstairs, there are three bedroom suites on the first floor, alongside the rather enviable principal suite, which encompasses a huge dressing room and a bathroom. The second floor is occupied by four further bedrooms, two bathrooms and a laundry room – not to mention an impressive cinema room. 

Country kitchen with white cabinets and granite worktops

Of course, no country estate is complete without picture-perfect grounds, and this one offers 25 acres including formal landscaped gardens, a charming kitchen garden and a lake. You’ll even find two further residences – a three-bedroom cottage and a three-bedroom lodge – as well as a stone coach house and a stable block.

Top it all off with a tennis court, a sunken croquet lawn and an orchard, and it’s enough to make all of your Bridgerton dreams come true. This just might be the most coveted estate in the Cotswolds.
