Chavenage House is an Elizabethan manor house situated 1.5 miles northwest of Tetbury, in the Cotswolds area of Gloucestershire, England. It is constructed of Cotswold stone, with a Cotswold stone tiled roof.
Particularly famous features of the house are Cromwell's Room, with history of the English Civil War, the Great Hall, featuring stained glass windows, the Ballroom (an Edwardian addition), and the Oak Room, which features elaborate oak panels dating from 1590.
