At first glance, Batheaston House seems like your standard-issue dreamy English countryside estate. The elegant rooms feature delicate arches and cozy wood-panelling, and the house is surrounded by a verdant garden. Well-designed interiors aside, the stately halls of this estate\u2014which just hit the market for $6 million\u2014also contain a fair bit of history.<\/p>\n

Located right along the River Avon, the property\u2019s history traces back over 500 years. The estate was first owned by John Harington, godson to Queen Elizabeth I (and the person who designed one of the first flushing toilets). Harington died around 1612 and, almost 100 years later, in 1712, the home was rebuilt by a local official, according to Robb Report<\/a>. The steep roofs characteristic of the Tudor style were exchanged for the graceful symmetry of the Queen Anne style\u2014with the exception of the ground floor, which remains a Tudor-era basement.<\/p>\n

The home\u2019s ground floor is one of the only parts kept from the original structure, and was reworked to include a kitchen, wine cellar, and media room.<\/p>\n

Ownership changed hands several imes in the years that followed, and sometime in the 19th-century Batheaston came into the ownership of a music teacher \u201cwhose pupil was linked to Queen Victoria\u2019s youngest daughter, who is said to have visited and taken lessons here,\u201d per Robb Report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The six-bedroom house remained mostly untouched in the coming years, until it was lovingly restored in 2015. The project focused on maintaining Batheaston\u2019s history, while also bringing the estate into the 21st-century. Original period details were restored and integrated with modern upgrades.<\/p>\n

The result is a modern home bursting with character. The Tudor-era basement now includes a kitchen, media room, and wine cellar. Sitting rooms feature ornate fireplaces and sash windows that look out to luscious grounds overlooking the River Avon. There\u2019s even a coach house, with a garage and bedroom annex above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2 min read At first glance, Batheaston House seems like your standard-issue dreamy English countryside estate.
