14 bedroom country house for sale

An extremely handsome Grade II Listed Jacobethan country house, Norton Manor offers a rare combination of architectural grandeur, lifestyle flexibility and income opportunity. Set within private grounds in the heart of the Mid Wales Marches, this landmark residence is steeped in history and beautifully positioned for both rural living and commercial potential. Auction details available.

The Main House

Built in 1858 for Sir Richard Green-Price, Norton Manor is a fine example of Jacobethan architecture. Constructed in Ashlar stone, the house features a symmetrical façade with gabled bays, tall diagonal chimneys, gable parapets and finials. The entrance is marked by a four-centred arch under a hood mould, leading into a full-height reception hall with oak flooring, marble embossed pillars and a sweeping Italian-style staircase with gold leaf spindles.

The accommodation spans two principal floors, an attic and extensive cellarage, including a wine cellar, plant room, fuel store and workshop. All windows are sash with secondary glazing, most retaining their original shutters.

The formal reception rooms include a double aspect drawing room with a multifuel stove and a striking granite bar, a nod to its former life as a hotel, and a dining room with a working fireplace and garden views. The kitchen, once the ballroom, is now a stunning large family space with granite worktops, a double Range oven, two dishwashers, a central island and a wood burning stove. Ornate plasterwork, gold-painted ceilings and decorative coving add to the sense of grandeur.

Additional spaces include a cloakroom, boot room and larder/utility room.

Upstairs, seven double bedrooms each benefit from ensuite facilities, accessed via a galleried landing lit by stained glass roof lights.

The Wing & Ancillary Accommodation

The secondary wing has been sensitively restored and includes a flagstone entrance hall, kitchen/dining room, a ground floor ensuite bedroom and snug, two cloakrooms, four ensuite bedrooms on the first floor, and a second floor with two bedrooms, a bathroom and games room.

Configured as a separate Airbnb/holiday let, this wing includes a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with BBQ, pizza ovens, smokers and undercover dining- ideal for lifestyle, income or multi-generational living.

Grounds & Outbuildings

Approached via a long, shared driveway through parkland, the property opens into a gated gravel courtyard with ample parking. The grounds include a sunken lawn with stone steps and panoramic views over the Radnorshire Hills, a rear lawn and courtyard. There is hardstanding for four lodges, two already in place, ideal for staff or guest accommodation.

Business Potential

With its scale, elegance and layout, Norton Manor lends itself perfectly to corporate retreats, boutique hospitality or wedding functions. Previously operated as a hotel, the property has hosted numerous events and offers a compelling commercial opportunity alongside its residential appeal.
