A grand entrance hall sets the tone here, its sweeping stone floors, intricate cornicing and wide double doors leading to a central staircase bathed in light from a glazed cupola above. Just off the hall, the double reception room emanates warmth, its bright yellow walls enlivened by floor-to-ceiling French doors that open to the gardens beyond. Ornate columns, decorative plasterwork and antique furniture – including a conversation seat and games table – infuse the room with heritage charm.
On the doorstep to Bibury, unwind at this luxury 10-bedroom private Cotswolds estate to rent
Property information
Conceived by Yiangou Architects, this 10,000-square-foot manor is a remarkable reinterpretation of a traditional country house.
Constructed from locally-sourced ashlar and stone from the estate’s own quarry, Ashlar Park’s commanding presence is complemented by interiors that take you back in time: bold colours, antique furniture and captivating oil portraits. Outside, find a heated pool, flowering gardens, full-size tennis court and a tranquil swimming lake that mirrors the sky.
For larger groups, Ashlar Park can also be combined with two self-contained converted barns – Ashlar Barn and Riven Barn. Depending on requirements, guests have the choice of renting the main house or the barns separately.

The living spaces
Set against bold red walls, the drawing room is furnished with patterned sofas and a television – perfect for relaxed evenings and film nights. For pre-dinner cocktails and later nightcaps, there’s also a home bar. Quieter moments unfold in the library, where dark timber bookcases, a traditional fireplace and muted blue walls await.
Kitchen & dining
Equipped with a full team of chefs and catering staff, mealtimes always carry a sense of occasion at Ashlar Park. The kitchen is set with stainless-steel worktops, clean-line cabinetry and state-of-the-art appliances suited to all manner of culinary creativity.
The dining room leans formal, with classic wall panelling and a collection of oil portraits in gilded frames. At its centre, a polished wooden dining table anchors the space, setting the scene for conviviality. Outside, a terrace overlooks the landscaped gardens, for al fresco entertaining during the warmer months.
Bedrooms & bathrooms
Each bedroom has been individually curated, with palettes ranging from deep cobalt and serene teal to soft, verdant green. The first floor comprises five bedrooms, including a principal suite with a spa-inspired en suite, alongside four guest bedrooms, each thoughtfully outfitted with its own bathroom. Upstairs, five further bedrooms – two with en suites – continue the same meticulous approach to design, where fabrics, furnishings, artwork and lighting create elegant, restful spaces.
Outdoor space
Embrace the rhythm of countryside living with sweeping views across the rolling Cotswold hills. Around the house, artfully composed gardens unfold in a sequence of serene outdoor spaces: a heated swimming pool, hot tub and sauna framed by sculpted topiary, floral borders alive with colour and fragrance, and a full-size tennis court for leisurely afternoons. Beyond, a tranquil lake – its glassy surface reflecting the changing sky – offers an enchanting setting for summertime swims.
