Built from the ground up, Heritage House takes inspiration from its surroundings, with our picturesque Market Garden and the wild countryside beyond the walls informing the design within.
Every detail is imbued with influences from the Cotswolds landscape, from the locally sourced materials and sustainable building methods to the elegant high ceilings and monumental proportions which honour the setting.
With three versatile, dynamic spaces and an awe-inspiring presence set within nature, there is simply no other events venue like it.

Heritage House sits within the market garden, in the heart of the farm, where traditions are nurtured and knowledge is shared.
Designed to look like a series of agricultural buildings that have grown together organically, each space within Heritage House opens out onto the market garden providing panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
Most of what goes into the kitchen and on to your table has been carefully grown, nurtured or made just yards away.
The largest and most versatile of the three spaces within The Heritage House. Perfect for standing drinks receptions, large-scale banquets and dancefloors for post-dinner celebrations, The Ox Barn can be divided into smaller spaces, allowing for numerous capacity configurations.
Crafted from local Cotswold stone in a traditional high-ceilinged barn style with impressive glass doors opening out to the Market Garden, The Dovecote space is an excellent option for workshops and presentations requiring theatre-style seating.
A light, airy space situated between The Dovecote and The Ox Barn, leading out to landscaped gardens with stunning views. Ideal for welcoming guests with arrival drinks and refreshments.

the building
Heritage House has been led by our surroundings, the beauty of nature and the needs of modern, sustainable living. From the foundations to the rooftops, exemplary architecture and design works intelligently with raw materials from the land.
Designed from the ground up to need minimal energy, the entire building can run on the solar power gathered on the farm, during the summer months.
Inspired by the Cotswold farm buildings that have stood for generations, we’ve built in locally hewn Cotswold stone and finished in traditional, breathable lime plaster.
The larch and oak in the building come from our Wootton Estate in Staffordshire. Naturally rich in resins and oil, the larch used for feather-edge cladding can resist the elements for years to come. The mighty oak logs fronting The Greenhouse bar are chosen for their longevity and beauty, a symbol of what can be achieved from small beginnings.
We believe in making the most of what nature has given us and avoid waste of any kind. Our carpenters smoothed and fitted reclaimed elm timbers from local buildings undergoing renovation, while stonemasons carved a stone slab from a railway platform for the hearthstone and inglenook seats in The Dovecote, ensuring these beautiful materials remain in use for decades to come.
