Doughton Manor is a country house in Doughton, in the civil parish of Tetbury Upton, in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building.The listed building specification indicates that Richard Talboys built the house between 1628 and 1641, and it was restored in 1933. More recent research suggests Doughton Manor was built around the year 1590 by John Seed before Richard Talboys acquired the property in 1623. Talboys was long considered responsible for the original construction and he certainly worked on the building between 1628 and 1641, altering and aggrandising it. Although the house was restored in 1933 it remains one of the least altered Cotswold Manor houses.Doughton Manor is adjacent to Highgrove House, the family residence of King Charles III and Queen Camilla. The house was offered for sale in 2022 at a price of £4 million.

Highgrove House
Highgrove House

Highgrove House is the family residence of King Charles III and Queen Camilla. It lies southwest of Tetbury in Gloucestershire, England. Built in the late 18th century, Highgrove and its estate were owned by various families until it was purchased in 1980 by the Duchy of Cornwall from Maurice Macmillan. Charles III remodelled the Georgian house with neo-classical additions in 1987. The duchy manages the estate and the nearby Duchy Home Farm. The gardens at Highgrove have been open to the public since 1996. The gardens of the late-18th-century home were overgrown and untended when Charles first moved in but have since flourished and now include rare trees, flowers and heirloom seeds. Current organic gardening and organic lawn management techniques have allowed the gardens to serve also as a sustainable habitat for birds and wildlife. The gardens were designed by Charles in consultation with highly regarded gardeners like Rosemary Verey and noted naturalist Miriam Rothschild.The gardens receive more than 30,000 visitors a year. The house and gardens are run according to the King's environmental principles and have been the subject of several books and television programmes. The King frequently hosts charitable events at the house. As the property is owned by the Duchy of Cornwall, control of the House was transferred to William, Prince of Wales, when his father acceded to the throne and he became Duke of Cornwall on 8 September 2022. The King and Queen will lease the house from the Duchy to use as a country residence.
