Exceptional country estate with superb leisure facilities

Description

A truly exceptional and historically significant detached country residence dating back to the 15th century, beautifully extended and enhanced over generations to create an impressive and highly versatile family home of remarkable character. The principal house provides six generously proportioned bedrooms and an elegant blend of period architecture and later sympathetic additions. Original features sit comfortably alongside expansive living and entertaining spaces, offering both grandeur and warmth. Thoughtfully designed leisure facilities further elevate the lifestyle on offer, making the property equally suited to refined family living or hosting on a grand scale. At the heart of the home lies the kitchen, a welcoming and beautifully appointed space designed for both practicality and sociability. It forms the natural hub of the house. Adjoining the kitchen is the family snug which leads to a magnificent formal dining room offering a graceful setting for entertaining, with working original inglenook fireplace, and sash windows complemented by working shutters which allow natural light to flood the room while maintaining privacy and an authentic period feel.

The sitting room is both refined and inviting, ideal for entertaining or unwinding, with further original fireplace and sash windows reinforcing the home’s timeless elegance. The playroom or further reception room provides excellent flexibility and leads internally to the spa and pool area. The swimming pool has a hydraulic tiled floor offering both innovation and versatility, at a touch of a button the floor can be raised or lowered, allowing the pool to transform seamlessly from a full depth swimming pool to a shallow leisure space, or even to a fully tiled floor that extends the surrounding room for entertaining events. Beyond the pool, the spa complex is further enhanced by a secondary kitchen, ideal for entertaining or independent use, along with a bedroom or treatment room served by an en-suite bathroom. Alongside the family home, the pool complex is currently operated as a private-hire spa, known as Nortonbury Spa
.
The first floor offers four generous double bedrooms all with ensuite bathrooms, on the second floor there are two further bedrooms and an ensuite bathroom. Complementing the main residence is a fully self-contained three-bedroom, three-bathroom bungalow/annexe barn conversion, ideal for multi-generational living or guest accommodation.
