Description
Norman House is an elegant and impressive country residence that offers beautifully balanced accommodation across four floors. With its generous ceiling heights and large sash and bay windows, the house enjoys delightful views over its expansive gardens, grounds and parkland. The property boasts a rich history, with the oldest section dating back to the Georgian era. It has since been enhanced by notable Victorian and 1920s extensions.
The current owners, who have cherished this home for nearly twenty years, have thoughtfully improved and maintained the whole property. They have also preserved the original features, especially in the main reception rooms, where the charming original fireplaces remain intact.
The main house accommodation is extensive and versatile. The lower ground floor serves as a general storage area and houses the boiler room. The ground floor features five reception rooms, a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, utility areas/boot room, and additional storage spaces. On the first floor, there is an array of double bedrooms, six of which have en suite facilities. Two staircases provide access to the second floor, which includes a self-contained flat and three additional bedrooms.
The exterior of Norman House is equally impressive. A grand gravel driveway leads to a Coach House, which currently includes two recreation rooms on the ground floor, with a flat and storage space above. The back of the main house opens to a fabulous terrace and formal garden, partially enclosed by walls and featuring a kitchen garden, herbaceous borders, and an elevated timber-framed tree house overlooking a large pond.
The property also includes a park and woodland area, various outbuildings, an indoor heated swimming pool with changing rooms, an outdoor swimming pool, and a high-quality hard tennis court. The entire estate extends to almost 12 acres.
Located adjacent to the scenic Aubrey Buxton Nature Reserve, Norman House offers the perfect blend of historical charm and modern convenience in a tranquil, picturesque setting.
