About this property

Luxury and elegance
Fully renovated by the current owners and designed to offer comfortable, luxurious accommodation with a real emphasis on first class family life, both inside and out.
Heritage
Tormarton Court has origins going back to the 16th Century with further alterations having taken place during both the 17th and 18th Centuries. The external structure of the house is largely based on the remodelling that took place in 1812 for Lord William Somerset, a son of the Duke of Beaufort at nearby Badminton House and Rector at St Mary Magdalen Church, which stands opposite the house. The ownership passed from the Badminton estate to the Church Commissioners who in turn sold it to the first Lord Altrincham, Edward Grigg who renamed the house Tormarton Court. His son John Grigg has become more of a household name recently owing to his central role in series two of Netflix's The Crown. In 1996 the current owners bought the house from the Grigg family and completed a major restoration of the estate.

Outside
This private paradise captures every season and mood. From long framed views to luscious lawns and well planned and maintained foliage, the grounds are a triumph. The repurposed walled garden now offers a hidden utopia with a heated swimming pool surrounded by immaculately clipped yew hedges, lined by allium stocked beds and espaliered fruit trees. The wonderful parkland style paddocks have a plethora of mature specimen trees and a meandering woodland walk – perfect for children and adults to explore.
