norcote HouseNorcote house is a beautiful Cotswold manor situated centrally in about 20 acres of parkland and pasture with a perimeter mainly of mature trees. the long drive leads up to a wide gravelled parking area outside the house past the parkland and ha-ha. this follows on to the coach house and large productive walled kitchen garden. Beyond this is a timber and steel framed barn currently used for cattle but could be easily adapted for equestrian use. all the paddocks are recently fenced and split up into sensible sized areas. there is a former hard tennis court which could be renewed with some work.

main HouseNorcote house is a wonderful family home which also provides excellent entertaining space. the principal rooms are of flexible layout and mainly south facing. the panelled oak front door opens into a large reception hallway with flagstone floors and a wood-burning stove creating a grand but welcoming entrance. approached from the hall is the sitting room and drawing room both with open fireplaces. Further along is the dining room, kitchen, study, snug and a sizable utility and boot room. accessed from the main entrance hall are the steps down to the cellar.

there are two staircases leading up to the first floor providing an impressive south facing master bedroom with a large dressing room/bathroom. also approached from the landing is a guest bedroom suite, three double bedrooms, two family bathrooms, and a further shower/dressing room.

a staircase rises from the inner landing to the second floor where there is a store and games room. From the main landing a spiral staircase leads up from the library to a potential self contained flat. this floor comprises three bedrooms, sitting room and a bathroom.

Gardens and GroundsNorcote house has a range of outbuildings and carefully designed gardens. the most impressive of these is probably the large walled kitchen garden. surrounding the property is formal parkland to the south of the property with a semi circular ha-ha. to the rear is a more formal lawn with a stone pathway flagged with nepeta and rose borders and a meadow area with a carpeting of spring flowers. surrounding this are well laid paddocks and the farm buildings. the steel and timber barn currently provides for cattle but could easily be also made suitable for stabling. one of the rear paddocks has a unit with two stables.
