This over 400-year-old stately English country manor, known as St. Catherine’s Court, has hosted numerous notable figures and has just been listed for £12.5 million (US$15.8 million). Situated on the outskirts of Bath, the manor was once owned by actress Jane Seymour and has welcomed musical guests like the Cure and Radiohead.

It sits on 14 acres.

Dating back to at least 1591, when the owner at the time remodeled an existing property on the site, St. Catherine’s Court was purchased by Jane Seymour and her then-husband, David Flynn, in the 1980s.

The main house has 11 bedrooms.

The actress discovered the stone manor house while filming the television miniseries “Jamaica Inn” in 1982. “We had one day’s filming here, and by evening, David and I had fallen in love with the place,” she told Architectural Digest in 1991.

The lavish manor is more than 400 years old.

The couple undertook a much-needed renovation of the property. Following Seymour’s subsequent marriage to film director James Keach, the house was rented out as a film set and a recording studio, according to Savills, which listed the home on the market on Friday.

There are stately fireplaces.

The house has multiple sitting rooms.

The listing agency reported that Seymour sold the house in 2007, and subsequent owners have restored the manor and gardens to their original splendor. Mansion Global was unable to identify the seller or the purchase price of the home.

“St. Catherine’s Court not only represents a wonderfully idiosyncratic family home, but one that is equipped to entertain on a truly grand scale,” said Ed Sugden of Savills Country Department.

Inside the main home with its 11 bedrooms, the rich history is evident. There are ornate plasterwork ceilings with intricate carvings, wood-paneled rooms, stone mullioned leaded light windows—some with stained-glass detail—coffered ceilings, ancient oak floors and staircases, and huge fireplaces.

The property features three kitchens—a family kitchen, a professional kitchen, and a gardener’s kitchen—multiple sitting rooms, a drawing room currently used as a home theater, a formal dining room, a study, a music room, and a wine room.

The residence occupies 14 acres of land, boasting gardens that earned admiration from Gertrude Jekyll, a prominent garden designer of the 20th century. In a 1906 issue of Country Life, she described St. Catherine’s Court as unparalleled in its charm of ancient beauty and delightful, restful pleasure-ground within the county of Somerset and beyond England.

The grounds feature a lengthy bowling green bordered by ancient yew trees; lawns and terraces interconnected by stone staircases; herbaceous flower beds; an apple orchard; wildflower meadows; an orangery; a tennis court; and stables. Additionally, there is a five-bedroom lodge house and a three-bedroom cottage.

“Presenting the opportunity to own a captivating piece of history, this remarkable and truly unique manor house offers a sense of privacy, tranquility, and seclusion despite its convenient proximity to Bath,” Sugden remarked. “Both enchanting and grand, St. Catherine’s Court and its gardens are nestled within a breathtakingly beautiful hidden valley that captivates the observer.”
