It is one of many Roman villas discovered in Gloucestershire and was occupied between the early 2nd and late 4th centuries AD.
The villa's most famous feature is the Orpheus mosaic, the second largest of its kind in Europe and one of the most intricate.
It depicts Orpheus charming all forms of life with his lyre and has been praised for its accuracy and beauty.
A replica mosaic, made of more than one-and-a-half million pieces of stone, was created by brothers John and Bob Woodward, who were inspired after seeing the original pavement.
The replica was displayed at Prinknash Abbey in Gloucester, England before being auctioned in June 2010 for £75,000.
