This working farmstead has remained in the same family's hands for centuries and stands as one of the most impressive manor houses in the region.
Beauchamp Court sits at the heart of a vast 1,300-acre estate near Tewkesbury, constructed from the honey-coloured stone that gives the Cotswolds its distinctive character, with additions made across generations. The main building dates from the late 16th century, but the real architectural statement came in the early 18th century when John Parsons III added a baroque façade featuring nine bays of genuine elegance that would rival many grander properties.
The house is surrounded by parkland that creates a surprisingly open atmosphere around this substantial building. The entire complex holds Grade II* listed status, acknowledging its architectural significance to the region. While the house itself remains private, the estate grounds and the approach towards it give you a real sense of how the gentry actually lived and managed their properties over time, functioning as working farms rather than purely residential retreats.
Beauchamp hamlet lies just a few miles north of Tewkesbury, putting it within reach if you're exploring Gloucestershire's quieter areas. The countryside here rolls gently, typical of the Cotswolds at its most understated. If you're drawn to rural history and period architecture, this is worth the visit to see the exterior and understand how these estates operated as genuine working landscapes rather than just country residences.
