The Manor House at Temple Guiting is an ancient Costwold house of considerable beauty and is listed at Grade I. By 2002 the landscape setting had become very degraded, and the first phase of work began on a project to restore the lost dry stone walls and to create a new garden to the design of Jinny Blom. This first phase was completed in September 2005 and subsequently won the prestigeous Pinnacle Award for excellence by the Dry Stone Walling Association which was presented by HRM The Prince of Wales. The next phases of work saw a derilict and collapsing cow byre outbuilding and its courtyard dry wall refurbished and converted into a staff cottage between autumn 2006 and spring 2007. Following the purchase of a former barn outbuilding, which historically formed part of the estate, the ancient route through the estate could be reinstated and the barn converted into anxilliary accommodation for the main house. This third phase of work was completed in spring 2009. The most recent phase of work, a new dining room extension to the eastern side of the main house on the site of a former service yard, was completed in winter 2009. Although looking like just another outbuilding from the outside, inside a new barrel vaulted oak roof was created which is intended to compliment the quality of other interiors in the house. This will be followed by the already approved repair works to the garage outbuildings and the conversion of a further byre outbuilding into a domestic gym with outdoor swimming pool. Conservation work is also planned to the dovecotes.
