The AreaNotton

Notton Fields is located in the heart of Notton close to the highly regarded village of Lacock and south of the M4, which provides good access to Bath and Bristol to the south and west, and Heathrow and London to the east. The larger towns of Chippenham, Corsham and Devizes provide more extensive shopping while cultural facilities are available at Bath and Bristol, all of which are within easy reach. Lacock is a short drive from Notton and whilst noted for its quintessential buildings and beautiful Abbey, it has a number of pubs, a post office, bakery, a church as well as a primary school. A little further afield is Bath, which is renowned for its famous Roman-built baths, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Bath has a huge array of handsome Georgian buildings and an enormous collection of cultural and culinary experiences. Frequent and direct rail services run from Chippenham to London Paddington, taking approximately 60 minutes. Wiltshire is renowned for its excellent selection of private and state schools, all being within easy driving distance. Local private schools include Stonar, Hayw00d Prep, Kingswood, Monkton Combe, Downside, Prior Park, Royal High School Bath, St. Marys Calne, Westonbirt, Marlborough College, Dauntsey’s, and Cheltenham schools. Additionally, there are a number of local state schools including Sheldon, Hardenhuish and Malmesbury.

Notton Fields, NottonAbout this home

An elegant and storied residence of 18th-century origin, Notton Fields is a beautifully presented Grade II listed country house, discreetly situated amidst rolling countryside on the edge of the historic village of Lacock. This distinguished home stands within grounds of approximately 5 acres, encompassing a suite of characterful outbuildings, a detached coach house, tennis court, and heated swimming pool. Constructed in local stone and rich in period charm, the principal house is arranged over three generous floors and displays a wealth of original features — flagstone floors, oak beams, stone mullion windows with working shutters, and an array of handsome fireplaces. A gravelled drive flanked by mature planting approaches the entrance, opening into a striking flagstone hallway with open staircase. The reception rooms are beautifully proportioned: a magnificent 31-foot triple-aspect drawing room with inglenook fireplace and log-burning stove; a more intimate family sitting room with sash windows and wood burner; and a stylishly appointed study tucked quietly away. The kitchen — truly the heart of the home — is fitted with bespoke Shaker cabinetry, a central island, gas-fired Aga and separate electric oven. The larder and pantry add to the generous domestic provision, complemented by a well-equipped utility room and guest cloakroom. Ascending the staircase, a broad and light-filled landing leads to the principal bedroom suite, complete with dressing room, luxurious bathroom, and additional room ideal as a nursery or study. Three further bedrooms and a family shower room are arranged on this level, with a charming attic bedroom and bathroom above, and two sizeable storage rooms offering conversion potential (subject to consents). Beautifully converted, the Coach House provides independent guest or secondary accommodation of outstanding character. The ground floor offers a cosy living/dining space with wood burner, a well-appointed kitchen, and double bedroom with en suite shower room and laundry facilities. Upstairs, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams crown a large principal bedroom with roll-top bath and lounge area. An additional bedroom or study space completes the accommodation. The gardens at Notton Fields are a particular feature — a series of distinct and beautifully tended spaces, offering both formality and wild charm. Herbaceous borders, gravel walks, ornamental ponds, and a rose Arbor frame expansive lawns, a secluded walled garden, and a thoughtfully designed kitchen garden with greenhouse and fruit cages. A newly surfaced tennis court and air-source heated swimming pool lie discreetly to one side of the grounds. To the rear, a paddock bordered by woodland invites both equestrian and recreational pursuits, with a meandering woodland walk offering quiet refuge. A suite of traditional outbuildings provides ample utility and leisure space. These include a substantial garage, workshop, store rooms, a gym with timber flooring, and a wine store. A double carport and tractor shed complete the arrangement.
