Kingston Bagpuize House remains a family home. Surrounded by garden and parkland this beautiful early Georgian style house is in red brick with stone quoins, banding and window surrounds.

The entrance hall is dominated by the handsome cantilever staircase. The elegant reception rooms have period furniture and paintings.

The gardens are notable for an large collection of plants which give year round interest including snowdrops and Magnolia in spring, flowering trees and shrubs in summer and autumn colour from September. The raised terrace walk which leads the visitor to the charming 18th-century pavilion also has views towards the house and over the Woodland Garden.

The House and grounds offer exclusive use for weddings, private and corporate events and filming.
