4 bed country house for sale

Naunton, Cheltenham GL54

Lying in the rolling Gloucestershire countryside, Cotswold Club Equestrian is one of the most comprehensively equipped equestrian centres in the region. Set within 80 acres of immaculate paddocks and professionally designed training grounds, the estate has been created for riders who demand excellence, whether for private enjoyment, professional sport, or a unique commercial venture.

At the heart of the property is an American-style stable block fitted with 36 Monarch stables, each built with the precision and durability the brand is known for. Wide, immaculate aisles connect to a suite of purpose-built facilities, including wash bays, a dedicated laundry and boot-room, and a beautifully organised tack and locker room lined with bespoke cabinetry. There is also a spacious office, along with a guest cloakroom and shower.

The indoor arena extends to approximately 18,300 sq ft, offering an exceptional all-weather training environment with remarkable light and volume. Two elevated viewing galleries create the perfect setting for clinics, exhibitions, corporate training days or events, while additional barns adjoining the arena provide flexible storage and operational space.

Beyond the stable complex, the grounds have been thoughtfully laid out to support year-round riding. A dressage arena, a separate jumping arena, horse walkers, fenced paddocks, all-weather gallops and a canter track form a complete training circuit framed by uninterrupted countryside views.

For owners, staff and guests, the estate includes a beautifully appointed Club Room, an inviting space with a log-burning stove, bar, and generous seating, perfect for socialising after training or hosting private gatherings. Two staff flats, one arranged over three bedrooms, the other a one-bed, provide comfortable on-site accommodation, each equipped with fitted kitchens and their own entrances.

Approached through a gated drive lined with mature trees, the estate feels private yet deeply connected to its rural setting. A series of barns, workshops and ancillary buildings sit discreetly within the landscape, supporting the operational needs of a working stud or equestrian business.

Naunton lies in one of the most attractive pockets of the North Cotswolds, surrounded by gently rising hills, bridleways and traditional stone villages. Country pubs, private members’ clubs and farm shops punctuate the landscape, while Cheltenham is within easy reach for Michelin-star dining, festivals and amenities. It’s a setting that balances rural seclusion with the culture and connection that make this part of Gloucestershire so sought after.
