Renowned for its historic villages set amid idyllic landscapes, the Cotswolds is one of England’s most charming destinations, where winding lanes, cozy pubs, and centuries-old stone cottages create a timeless sense of place—an atmosphere perfectly mirrored by a picturesque Edwardian country estate on the edge of the Gloucestershire district, offering generous space for nature-loving families and design enthusiasts alike.

Named Ladyswood House, the main residence dates to 1905 and sits atop 60 acres of rolling pastureland in Wiltshire. Nine bedrooms and bathrooms are spread across the extensively restored and refurbished behemoth with over 13,600 square feet of interiors. Additional accommodations for guests and/or staff sit on the estate’s boundary in a structure dubbed the Lodge, while sports and leisure-focused features further sweeten the deal.

A winding road with far-reaching vistas leads to the primary home’s gated entrance, where the eye is drawn to the red brick and Cotswold stone of the facade. Tall chimneys and stone-mullioned leaded windows further define its exterior, lending what press materials describe as a home “rich in period character yet balanced in proportion.” Recent updates, meanwhile, introduced contemporary design codes for a seamless blend of historic charm and contemporary living that’s perfectly suited for both relaxed family life and large gatherings.

Soaring ceilings, casement windows, and elegant pops of color that range from blush pink to teal green trail the two-story abode’s interiors. A large reception room welcomes visitors inside, while a modern chef’s kitchen and breakfast area sit opposite a garden room. Further in is a family room, drawing room, and billiards room with ample space to spread out.

Six bedrooms span the second floor, including the primary suite with a massive, boutique-style dressing room and en suite bathroom that centers a freestanding claw-footed roll-top tub. Three more bedrooms are found on the third floor, alongside an independent apartment with its own living and kitchen areas. 

An enclosed passage links the main residence to a separate structure, where there are a sunroom, gym, dog room, lower-level cellar, and easy access to the three-car garage. The property’s formal gardens lend a relaxing backdrop to a stone gazebo with a wood-burning stove. A swimming pool and pool house, plus a stable complex and indoor and outdoor riding arenas, as well as a polo yard, complete its long list of luxuries. The $12.6 million estate is now available with Alex Collins of United Kingdom Sotheby’s International Realty.
