A delightful 18th century home set in 36 acres of glorious Cotswolds countryside
Lower Moor Manor drips with character, thanks to exposed beams and flagstone floors – but the house itself is just the start.


In the village of Minety lies this beautiful 18th century house near Malmesbury, the ‘Queen of Hilltop Towns’ and gateway to the Cotswolds, which is on the market with Jackson-Stops & Staff priced at £2.4 million.
The substantial six-bedroom Lower Moor Manor boasts six bedrooms, drawing room and kitchen-breakfast room, plus more unusual additions such as a wine store and games room.
Flagstone floors and exposed beams give a magnificent Cotswolds character to the place, which as you can see from the photographs on this page has been maintained in magnificent and somewhat exotic style.
The house itself is just the start of what you're buying, however: this lovely place sits in a wonderful 36 acres of pasture and woodland.
And as you'd expect of a property with so much land, it has good equestrian facilities, including five post-and-rail paddocks.
There is also a tennis court, while elsewhere on the property are various barns that could be converted into further accommodation – and space to build a swimming pool, should you desire.
Exquisite houses, the beauty of Nature, and how to get the most from your life, straight to your inbox.
Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by His Majesty The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
