Abbotswood, Gloucestershire, English country house and Grade II listed building in Lower Swell, England.
The L-shaped Cotswold stone house features multiple architectural elements, including a grand staircase, reception rooms, and formal gardens designed by Edwin Lutyens.
The estate's land ownership dates back to pre-conquest times, when Ernesi held the property before its division between Raoul II of Tosny and William II.
The gardens incorporate a rectangular lily pool, herbaceous borders, and a sunk tennis lawn, reflecting early 20th-century English landscape design principles.
The property extends between Upper and Lower Swell villages, with the main entrance located 400 meters southeast of Upper Swell on the B4077 road.
Rosa canina 'Abbotswood', a specific variety of dog rose, was first discovered in the kitchen gardens of the estate during the 1950s.
