Amberley Court

Amberley Court is a handsome and exceptionally well proportioned manor house nestled on the side of the Cotswold escarpment. The central part of the property is believed to date from the 1640's with additional wings having been added in the mid 1800's.

Amberley Court has been sympathetically brought into the 21st century and is beautifully presented. You enter through a heavy wooden studded door into a spacious entrance hall with a stone floor and open fireplace to one side. The bespoke wooden kitchen with an Aga also gives access to the large and useful pantry at one end and into the breakfast and sitting room to the other. The breakfast room gives access to the formal gardens and a large roof terrace with new decking being ideal for outside entertaining.

Amberley Court has three beautiful southerly facing bay windows in the dining room, library/sitting room and drawing room. The sitting room/library is a charming cosy room with panelling and built in bookshelves. The dining room is the ideal size for entertaining without being too large and the drawing room is simply spectacular with tall ceilings, traditional decorative cornicing and huge windows looking out across the gardens.

The garden room has been used as a craft room and is a lovely light space also giving access to the gardens and outside sitting area. At the front of the house is a large play room with home cinema leading into a further sitting room.
The bedrooms are all generous with the majority being ensuite. Separate to the main run of bedrooms are two further bedrooms suites, one having its own sitting room and is ideal as a nanny flat and the other being at the top of the spiral stone staircase being full height into the roof pitch, offers lovely views and has a spacious bathroom.

The lower ground floor is made up of a number of different rooms allowing for multiple uses. The main garage is currently a gym but could easily be turned back into a large 3 car garage. There is another separate garage, wine store, workshop, storage space, workshop and a potting/garden store.

Outside - Amberley Court has about 4.6 acres of gardens that surround the house. Mainly laid to lawn interspersed with mature trees, there is an orchard, fruit cages and a newly built wooden framed greenhouse along with wonderful bedding and hedges. The swimming pool is a 14m x 7m infinity pool with views across the Woodchester valley. Adjacent is a Cotswold stone pool house with bi-folding doors, fully fitted kitchen, shower room, store and a room over ideal as a tucked away sitting room,study or extra bedroom.
