About this property
Badgerwood - sleeps 12 guests in 6 bedrooms
Elevated above Sudeley Castle with a sweeping view over the charming town of Winchcombe and the Evesham Valley, Badgerwood sets the stage for your next grand escape. The house seamlessly integrates with the history of Sudeley Castle, unique pieces from the estate collection and original cottage features masterfully blend the old with the new.
The attention to detail found throughout this grand design is evident as soon as you step into the entrance hall. Sweeping up into the open plan living area the space opens around you, where a dual sided woodburner becomes a central feature. A cornflower blue kitchen allows professional chefs to cater to your every taste as you gather at the dining table. Celebrate a special occasion by partaking in games room entertainment, perhaps a game of pool or round of table tennis. When the evening winds down adjourn to the sitting area for a nightcap and raise your glasses. Enjoy a gentler evening in the snug where you can enjoy a cinema experience on the smart TV.
Six divine en-suite bedrooms are set across the ground and first floors. Rest in the lap of luxury in the master bedroom which has phenomenal views of the castle. Bi-fold doors open to a terrace where you can absorb the magnificent, breathtaking beauty of the surrounding area. Pristine linens, beautiful fabrics, custom-made dressing areas and irresistible super king-size beds contribute to this being one of the finest places you will stay.
The extravagance and luxury are not limited to the interior. From a pool terrace with a sunken hot tub, to an outdoor kitchen and dining area, Badgerwood has so much to offer. Spend a lazy day poolside or in the bubbling hot tub. If you'd like to stay active, your private gym awaits. If you are bringing dogs with you the enclosed lawned garden will be a welcome bonus providing space for them to play safely under supervision.
Ground Floor
Kitchen Combining modern needs with traditional eye-catching style, the generous kitchen ensures you are well catered for. Two fridge/freezers, wine fridges, two dishwashers and necessary small appliances add convenience to your stay.
Dining Area Lit by statement pendant lights above and natural light from the large glass doors, the dining table seats 12. In the evening, the dual-aspect woodburner adds background crackle and warmth to decadent feasts. Mornings can start with the bi-fold doors pulled open for a refreshing breeze as breakfast is served.
Sitting Area Sinking into the plush velvet sofas this space is made for conversation. A carefully chosen mix of textures, patterns and colours creates layers in the décor while two picture windows frame the castle and poolside view.
Games Room Watch the latest match while a game of pool is in full swing with a roaring fire on cooler nights.
Snug Cocoon yourselves in the snug where the artwork nods to country pursuits. Prep some freshly made popcorn, get a film rolling and settle into the luxurious seating. It's a space made for relaxing after meals and transporting yourself to a world of Cotswold decadence.
Laundry Even the most high-end houses need somewhere for you to do laundry and dry off dogs after a morning walk past the castle. At Badgerwood, this room is elevated with a bright aqua colour scheme, even the microwave matches. You have two washing machines, two tumble dryers and an extra fridge so you can rest assured, there is space for all your necessities.
Cloakroom A surprising contender for the best decorated room in the house, the cloakroom is drenched in rouge with wallpaper reminiscent of tapestry designs. The historic commode is your throne and touches of gold tones add even more luxury to your visit to the cloakroom.
Bedroom Five Cool and tranquil, bedroom five has a super king-size bed which can be arranged as a twin on request. Soft blues accompany natural tones, pulling inspiration from your garden views which you can step out into and sit at your own bistro set on your terrace. There are bedside tables, built-in storage and a dressing area with a table and chair.
En-Suite Your en-suite has a large rainfall shower where you can rinse the day away and imagine yourself in a spa. There is a WC and basin, and elegant elements are added in the tiling and lighting.
Bedroom Six Submerging you in coral pink, bedroom six has a super king-size bed which can be arranged as a twin if preferred. An inlaid dressing table, floral headrest and quirky art add an element of fun to this characterful room. There are bedside tables and built-in storage.
En-Suite The pink tones continue in the en-suite where you have a rainfall shower, WC and basin.First Floor
Master Bedroom One Your eye is immediately drawn to the panoramic views over Winchcombe and Sudeley Castle and you will find yourselves stepping out onto your private balcony before exploring the bedroom. Lush greenery stretches as far as the eye can see, and a bench is here so you can really imbibe the relaxed country atmosphere. Stepping back into the bedroom you feel as if you're in the presidential suite of your own 5-star hotel. There is a super king-size bed between bedside tables with a blanket bench at its foot. Dark antique furniture and a splash of contrasting lavender built-in storage allow you to unpack and feel at home. Bring a cup of tea back up in the morning and watch the light change as you sit beside the windows at the coffee table.
En-Suite A luxurious bubble bath awaits in the central freestanding tub in your decadent en-suite. The spacious walk-in rainfall shower with its marbled tiles and twin basins mirrors the style of ancient Roman baths and there is a separate WC tucked behind a sliding door. The master bedroom en-suites are linked with a lockable door between.
Master Bedroom Two Soft pinks, greens and passionflower fabrics add a more feminine touch to the second master bedroom. The super king-size bed sits at the centre with bedside tables, a coffee table and armchair and a dressing area with a table and built-in storage. Open the curtains to start your day with a castle view and rest here a while before heading downstairs for breakfast.
En-Suite This dual entrance en-suite has a rainfall shower, WC and basin. Spend a moment here in the pristine shower for a stimulating start to your day.
Bedroom Three The flexible bed in bedroom three can either be arranged as a super king-size or two singles. This room is furnished with bedside tables and a dressing table and chair with plenty of storage space built in.
En-Suite In the en-suite shower room is a rainfall shower, WC and basin with bright blue tiling mirrored in the arts and crafts style art.
Bedroom Four Bedroom four is a spacious super king-size room which can be made up as single beds if needed. Colour drenched in greens with illustrations of foliage and lighter toned furniture there is also built-in storage.
En-Suite The en-suite to bedroom four is the second to have a bath and there is also a rainfall shower above. Completed with a WC and basin this is a refreshing space.Outside
Badgerwood sits amongst rural Cotswold countryside where you have your own private grounds. When the days are brighter and warmer you will reside poolside, feet up on a lounger and cool drink in hand. Swim a couple of lengths and relax muscles in the hot tub before padding to the outdoor kitchen for a bite to eat. This fabulous facility includes an oven and grill and the fridge is a convenient place for bottles of wine and beer.
If you're staying with your extended family, including any four-legged members, open the bi-fold doors to the enclosed lawn and dining terrace. Mingle between indoors and out, dining al fresco when possible and letting the dogs play.
A wraparound paved path takes you around to the rear of the house where you'll find your gym. Built to give you stunning views as an accompaniment to your workout it's hard to talk yourself out of spending time here. You'll find extra bistro seating and a second dining table as you walk the perimeter letting you make the most of time spent outdoors.
