Rodmarton is a charming village bounded by beautiful countryside falling within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the majority of the village also being within a conservation area. Set away from all main roads, the village lies about one mile north of the A433 Cirencester to Tetbury road.
Rodmarton based developers Haresdown Property Limited have recently launched Barnsley Place, a development of five homes aptly named after the Barnsley Brothers, Sidney and Ernest, who designed and built nearby Rodmarton Manor in 1909-26, Ernest Barnsley’s largest and most important work. This Grade I listed manor was renowned as one of the last country houses to be built traditionally and entirely from local materials, using local stone and local timber by estate employees – the ethos of the Arts and Crafts movement. The Manor was built for the Hon Claud and Margaret Biddulph and the Biddulph family still live at the property today.
Rodmarton Manor stands in 8 acres of spectacular gardens, which are open to the public at limited times during February & March, where there are over 150 varieties of snowdrops to be seen, then open throughout May to September on selected days, with guided tours also available. The grounds are included as a Grade II* garden on the English Heritage register of historic parks and gardens.

The small village of Rodmarton has a strong and traditional community spirit. Located off all main roads, it has an intimate local primary school, which received a good Ofsted report in July 2007 and a Golden Owl award for their website. There is the picturesque Norman church of St Peter, which dates back to the 13th Century, and was last restored in 1884. The church holds an active annual calendar of events in the local village hall, including food and music evenings, harvest lunches, quiz nights and dances. The church also runs a children’s charity and occasionally hosts theatrical reviews and concerts, presented by professional companies from all over the UK.
The village hall is well used by the local community and also acts as a Cricket Pavilion for the local Rodmarton Cricket Club, who play every Saturday from May to September and hold matches on Wednesday evenings. The hall is also used as part of the village school accommodation for PE, assembly and concerts.
There is a village shop and post office just over 3 miles away in Kemble, and day to day amenities are plentiful in either Tetbury (5 miles) or Cirencester (7 miles), where there are excellent secondary schools. Rodmarton is also close to Kemble Railway station which runs regular services to Swindon and London Paddington. There are good road links to the M4, approximately 15 miles away.
Barnsley Place is situated opposite the village hall and primary school neighbouring farmland to the north. It comprises a small exclusive development of just five traditionally built Cotswold stone 3 and 4 bedroom homes. Each property has been uniquely designed to encompass traditional materials enhanced by modern building methods to create a truly desirable home for day to day living. Barnsley Place is a charming environment to fully appreciate the joys of community village life.
The blend of location, design and quality makes for your perfect home at Barnsley Place.
