Chavenage

The house is a fine example of Cotswold architecture from the wool merchant era, when the region's wealthy landowners were making their fortunes from the textile trade.

The Grade I listed house opens to visitors during summer months, offering a genuine window into how the gentry lived centuries ago. Inside, you'll find period furnishings, tapestries, and period details that bring Tudor and Stuart life to life. The grounds feature formal gardens and a small chapel, and the house has featured in various film and television productions over the years.

The village itself remains genuinely quiet and rural, with minimal commercial development, which lends it an authentic feel of how the Cotswolds have looked for generations. You won't find much in the way of facilities here, so Tetbury, just a short drive away, serves as your nearest town for shops and services. The location works well as a base for exploring the wider area, and a visit pairs nicely with countryside walks or visits to other nearby villages and estates in the region.
