Gorsty House is a most spectacular and inspiring country property which includes a restored, handsome and elegant 5 bedroom detached house standing in just over 2 acres of flowering hay meadow, quintessential country garden abundantly planted with cottage garden perennials and borders. All set in an elevated yet sheltered position with fabulous country views

General Remarks - Gorsty House is without question one of the most spectacular and inspiring country properties in the area.

Dating back to the early eighteenth century, the original house has had many incarnations and extensions, most notably, the elegant Edwardian wing which features the hall and staircase which was remodelled from the old magistrates court in Newtown, including the panelling and the witness gate at the top of the stairs. The house has also seen its share of interesting occupiers, having once been the site of a blacksmiths and in the early twentieth century owned by Isabel Kay who received an OBE in 1954 for her services to the Girl Guide movement.

The property has been lovingly restored over the past six years by its current owners and boasts extensive, characterful and practical internal accommodation together with grounds which extend to over two acres and which have been transformed into a quintessential country garden abundantly planted with cottage garden perennials that follow the seasons, a magnet for butterflies and bees and a haven for wildlife.

The gardens include deep borders, pond, orchard under-planted with wildflowers, an acre of flowering hay meadow, thousands of spring daffodils and over 130 roses in June.

The icing on the cake to this exceptional residence is its rural position and the myriad of different seating areas which take advantage of the quite breath-taking views from this tranquil setting.
