This hamlet clusters around a Grade II* listed country house that traces rural Gloucestershire's architectural journey across three centuries.
The main house was built in the 1770s for Nathaniel Jeffreys, showcasing solid Georgian design with its stone walls and slate roof. The lodge beside it presents an intriguing puzzle—it has all the hallmarks of Tudor architecture but actually dates from the Regency period, a good reminder that builders didn't always stick to fashionable styles of their day. Architect Henry Hakewill enlarged the property significantly in the mid-1820s for owner Josiah Gist, and later G. Dawber, a 20th-century architect, added more restrained improvements.
The setting gives you a real flavour of how the Cotswolds' landowners lived, far removed from the activity of market towns. The hamlet sits just south of Wormington village itself, surrounded by the rolling landscape that characterises this area. While the house remains private, the hamlet makes for an excellent stop if you're drawn to architectural history and the Georgian era. Its position is ideal for exploring nearby villages—Stanton is a short walk away, and larger towns like Broadway and Winchcombe are easily accessible. The location suits a leisurely pace, especially if you're following the Cotswold footpaths on foot.
