Believed to date from the mid-18th century and occupying the site of the historic Norton Court manor, this handsome Grade II Listed residence enjoys a delightful setting within one of the area's most sought-after villages.
Approached via a sweeping gravel driveway, the property immediately impresses with its attractive tile-hung elevations, substantial chimney stacks and elegant proportions.

Outside, beautifully established grounds surround the house, comprising mature lawns, specimen trees, well-stocked borders and secluded seating areas. A substantial detached timber-framed outbuilding with vaulted ceiling and exposed oak framework provides highly versatile ancillary space, suitable for a variety of uses including a studio, gymnasium, games room, home office or entertaining space.
