The Property Normandy House is a superb Grade II Listed period house of the William and Mary period, believed to have been built in around 1690. The house has Georgian additions and has been altered and modernised over time. The current owners have created the school wing, which can either be incorporated into the main house or separated off, with its own external access. There are excellent ceiling heights throughout the property, and of particular note is the substantial and broad reception hall and the delightful formal dining and drawing rooms. The main part of the house would benefit from some updating however the accommodation is extremely light and airy and there are some delightful period features. Normandy House would make an ideal family home, especially for those needing a house to incorporate multi-generational living. The house has some extremely large sash windows and there are superb views, especially to the rear of the house over the gardens and grounds.

The school wing, which was converted in 1998, can form part of the house or be completely independent depending on the needs of the owners. This comprises an open plan school room (sitting room and dining room) which has an open fireplace and gives access to the kitchen, wc and staircase. There are two principal bedrooms and one smaller bedroom along with an en-suite bathroom and a family bathroom. It would also be possible to re-open the upstairs hallway, and reinstate the school wing as part of the main house.
