Norwood Farmhouse, Cobham KT11


Description
This notable property is steeped in history with the land mentioned in the Doomsday book and has also been associated with Hampton Court and King Henry VIII in 1538. In later years, the pre−Raphaelite artist Roddam Spencer Stanhope resided at the Farmhouse prior to his move to Italy. During the First World War, Norwood Farm was used as a dairy farm for the local community, and most recently, the property was the setting for the 1967 Cannes Film Festival award winning film The Accident, starring Dirk Bogarde and Stanley Baker.

Norwood Farmhouse has been the subject of renovation and redecoration throughout. Attention has been focused on retaining the charm and individuality of this unique family home, and bringing together the delightful period features with the comforts of current modern living. The stylish and tasteful decor in soft neutral tones, original features such as wood flooring, cornice work and Georgian window shutters in combination with the beautiful private setting all contribute towards making Norwood Farmhouse one of the most appealing properties ever to be presented to the rental market.
