This impressive country house and three cottages with immaculate gardens and grounds has come on the market with Savills.

Situated on the Hertfordshire/ Buckinghamshire boarder, Norcott Hall is bordered by National Trust land, close to the small village of Northchurch.

There are excellent recreational facilities in the area with numerous golf courses at Berkhamsted, Moor Park, Stoke Park, Denham and Beaconsfield. The M25 is just eight miles away, providing easy access to London and both Heathrow and Luton International Airports. There is also a regular fast train service from Berkhamsted into London Euston taking just over 30 minutes.

Norcott Hall is a beautifully presented country house, built in 1928 in the Georgian style and partially remodelled in 1935. It has been substantially modernised and improved in recent years, including a superb new kitchen and breakfast room. It was at one time home to Argentinian first lady Eva Peron, who is said to be responsible for some of the interior.

Internally, the house comprises stately accommodation including a charming reception hall, with stone fireplace and wood burner and an elegant staircase with finely turned ballustrading rising to the first floor.

The sitting room has delicate panelling with an ornate marble fireplace and the sun room has a wonderful south facing living room, with three sets of double doors onto a wide flagstone terrace, overlooking the immaculate gardens and a drinks bar.

To the northeast of Norcott Hall and flanking the immaculate drive are a row of three delightful cottages ideal for both staff and guest accommodation.

The gardens and grounds of Norcott Hall are outstanding. The formal gardens to the west of the house expand to immaculate lawns, interspersed with pathways and mature trees, beyond which is the cleverly concealed hard tennis court.

Immediately to the southwest of the house is the Millennium Garden with immaculate beds framed in box hedging. The croquet lawn adjacent to the orchard offers fantastic far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside. To the west of the formal gardens is an outdoor manège, beyond which are a series of post and rail paddocks.

Neil Rose, head of Savills Harpenden comments: “This is a fantastic opportunity to purchase a truly unique country mansion set in such stunning grounds in the heart of rural Hertfordshire and yet only a half hour journey from London.”
