Description

Description

An exceptional opportunity to restore a significant wing of the historic Sopworth Manor. White Leas is nestled in an enviable, peaceful setting beside the 13th-century village church occupying a private corner plot. Dating back to the 1700s, this impressive and substantial Grade II listed property,  was divided into three spectacular dwellings over five decades ago, with White Leas forming the northern wing. The property is presented as a project, requiring full renovation and refurbishment to return it to its former glory.

Extending to over 3,000 sq.ft, this striking home offers period grandeur with enchanting interior features of magnificent tall stone-mullion windows, superb proportions, and generous ceiling heights, complemented by a galleried staircase ascending all three floors. The accommodation briefly comprises two grand reception rooms and a kitchen/breakfast room on the ground floor. The first floor hosts two large bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with an en-suite, while the top floor offers three further bedrooms. 

Set within a beautiful walled garden of approximately 0.45 acres, the property boasts a captivating outside space. Entered through a private gated driveway off Church Lane, there is ample private parking alongside a single garage. The gardens provide a wonderful outlook, abundant with vibrant perennials, expansive lawns, and a particularly charming rose-covered walkway.

Situation

The pretty unspoilt Cotswold village of Sopworth is situated amidst some delightful countryside close to the Gloucestershire border in the heart of Beaufort Country. Sopworth is about 6 miles south west of Tetbury and 6 miles west of Malmesbury. The village, which is set close to the heart of the Badminton Estate, has many fine old houses and cottages, most of which will have formed part of the Estate at some point. As such the village is largely protected by the surrounding park and farmland. Within striking distance are popular villages such as Sherston, which has a wide range of amenities, Westonbirt with its excellent school and renowned arboretum, and Didmarton with a popular pub. For shopping, Tetbury provides two supermarkets, many antique shops and fine food outlets. Bristol, Bath and Cirencester are within 23, 19 and 18 miles respectively. The surrounding countryside provides a wonderful source of walks and opportunities to ride. Sopworth adjoins Badminton Estate, the home of the Duke of Beaufort and the venue of the Badminton Horse Trials. There is a golf course at Westonbirt and an outstanding course at Minchinhampton.
