The Redlands, Gloucestershire, GL2

A Georgian masterpiece blending rural serenity with modern sophistication..

Set within an acre of secluded, landscaped grounds to the west of Gloucester, The Redlands is a beautifully preserved late Georgian residence dating to the early 19th century. Formerly the home of renowned war poet F.W. Harvey, this exceptional property blends timeless heritage with the refined elegance and comfort of a modern family home.

Inside, the accommodation unfolds across three floors, each space thoughtfully proportioned, with tall sash windows and high ceilings allowing light to move effortlessly through the house. Original features speak quietly of the home’s heritage, while recent enhancements elevate its liveability without compromising character.

A recently installed, stunning, state-of-the-art kitchen forms the heart of the home — beautifully appointed with a central island, quartz worktops, integrated appliances, and a classic Aga, all set against the warmth of an oak parquet floor that flows into the adjoining family space. Reception rooms retain their Georgian elegance, from original fireplaces and flagstone floors to handcrafted cabinetry and restored timberwork, creating inviting spaces for both entertaining and everyday life.

Upstairs, six bedrooms are arranged over two upper floors, including a luxurious principal suite with a roll-top bath, walk-in drench shower, underfloor heating, and adjoining access to the gym. The second floor offers flexible living, perfect for teenagers, guests, or a self-contained suite.

Attached to the main house, a two-storey annexe currently houses a gym and games room, it easily offers fabulous potential for a self contained guest suite, home office or additional living space. A generous twin chamber cellar with power and light, flagstone flooring with a well, wine store along with the original washhouse utility room, and a series of outbuildings, extend the home’s practicality.

Outside, the grounds are equally impressive: a sweeping driveway, secluded south-facing aspect enclosed by original walls, a full-size tennis court, ample parking, and an exquisite 16-seat timber barbecue pavilion with central fire pit — the perfect setting for al fresco dining and summer gatherings.

Locationally, Minsterworth offers the best of both worlds — a tranquil countryside setting just moments from city life. While enveloped by rolling rural landscapes, home to the famous River Severn, the property lies just 10 minutes from the heart of Gloucester, 30 minutes from Cheltenham, and benefits from excellent transport links, including direct rail services to London in under 2 hours.

The Redlands is a rare opportunity to own a home of remarkable provenance, where classic Georgian architecture meets modern refinement in a peaceful, private setting.
