Set within approximately 60 acres of gently rolling pastureland, Ladyswood House is a distinguished English country house of rare scale and privacy, positioned on the Gloucestershire–Wiltshire border close to Malmesbury and the southern edge of the Cotswolds. Built in 1905, the house is a handsome composition of Cotswold stone, warm red brick and lime render, its elevations animated by stone-mullioned leaded windows, intricate brick detailing beneath the roofline and a series of tall, decorative chimneys. The architecture has a quiet confidence, rich in period character yet balanced in proportion, and immediately announces the stature of the house within its landscape. Arranged across three principal floors and extending to approximately 13,648 sq ft, Ladyswood House has been extensively restored and refurbished to create a sophisticated and highly practical family home. The interiors retain a sense of grandeur, with generous ceiling heights and well-judged room proportions, while the restoration has introduced a contemporary ease that suits modern living and large-scale entertaining alike. At the heart of the house lies the kitchen, breakfast and garden room, a striking central space that anchors daily life. Designed as a social hub, it enjoys views across both the front and rear gardens, with dark contemporary cabinetry set beneath veined composite worktops. A substantial island with oak breakfast bar provides informal seating, while a champagne sink at its centre reinforces the room’s entertaining credentials. The flow from kitchen to garden room creates a natural rhythm between inside and out. The principal bedroom suite occupies a particularly peaceful position, enjoying dual-aspect views over the gardens. It is complemented by a large dressing room with fitted wardrobes and a beautifully appointed bathroom featuring a freestanding claw-foot roll-top bath and separate shower. Further bedroom accommodation is arranged across the upper floors, including guest suites and family bedrooms, as well as a self-contained apartment on the second floor with its own kitchen and living space, ideal for extended family or staff. The gardens and grounds are a defining feature of Ladyswood. From the house, views extend through a green-oak pergola festooned with wisteria, leading to a stone gazebo with wood-burning stove and onward to the swimming pool and pool house. Lawns and stone terraces wrap around the house, while an outdoor kitchen sits beneath a substantial oak-framed pergola, perfectly placed for summer entertaining. Beyond the formal gardens, the wider estate is exceptional. Facilities include a polo yard, an impressive indoor riding arena with viewing gallery, an outdoor riding arena suitable for polo, and an extensive stable complex with loose boxes and Monarch stables. The Lodge, positioned at the estate boundary, provides additional accommodation arranged across a single floor and is well suited to staff, guests or multigenerational living. Despite its seclusion, Ladyswood is well connected, with swift access to the M4 and rail services from Chippenham, placing London, Bristol and the wider West Country within easy reach. It is a rare estate that combines architectural presence, modern comfort and first-class equestrian facilities, all set within one of the most unspoilt corners of the region.
