Nestled in the rolling hills of the Cotswolds, Chavenage House has become a bit of a local celebrity. The Elizabethan estate near the picturesque village of Tetbury is a stone’s throw from Highgrove House and Gatcombe Park, the country homes of the King and the Princess Royal, and served as a playground for the young Princes William and Harry.
The beautiful grade I-listed manor has also starred in some of the biggest shows on TV, with roles in Wolf Hall, Poldark and, more recently, Rivals, the nation’s favourite – and steamiest – period drama.
