Northwick Park is situated within 35 acres of managed parkland in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the heart of the North Cotswolds. The Mansion itself is an important Grade I Listed building, restored and converted to provide six beautifully proportioned apartments.

Northwick Park dates from 1686 when the west front elevation, an impressive three storey ashlar stone structure, was begun. In 1728 Sir John Rushout, son of a wealthy Flemish merchant, commissioned an extensive remodelling of the property using the architect Lord Burlington, a key figure in the history of British Architecture and the rise of neoclassicism in Britain.

Northwick Park Mansion is reputed to have been visited by Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton. In more recent history the Estate housed the famous collections owned by Captain Spencer Churchill, cousin of Sir Winston Churchill, who himself often visited the Estate. Following Captain Spencer Churchill’s death in the early 1960s the Estate had various owners and The Mansion was subsequently converted into six luxurious apartments by the Wallace and Hoblyn Partnership in 1989.

In addition to the conversion of The Mansion, the various buildings forming part of this historic Estate were also converted to form individual houses and cottages such as the Coach House, Gallery and Stables. This together with the construction of a number of high quality dwellings all built in local vernacular style has led to the formation of a thriving Cotswold community. The properties that go to make up Northwick Park benefit from many communal facilities including the use of 35 acres of parkland with fine croquet lawn, four all weather tennis courts, outdoor heated swimming pool with changing facilities and 24 hour security service. There is car parking for residents and guests.
