Dating back to the 15th century, this remarkable property has witnessed the island’s evolution for more than five centuries. In the 1850s, it played a pivotal role in launching Guernsey’s horticultural trade to London’s Covent Garden. Today, Normanville stands as a rare opportunity to acquire not just a home, but a living piece of Guernsey’s history. In 1573 records note that Normanville was a substantial estate and today, some 500 years later, it has been rebuilt as a stunning mansion of some 15,000 square feet. Lovingly recreated with the scale and grandeur of Georgian mansions, the accommodation is light and bright, elegant and airy.

Originally established in the 15th century, the estate has witnessed the changing tides of time, its ownership passing through notable figures who have each left their mark on this remarkable property.
In the 16th century, the estate was owned by Jean de Vic, a prominent local figure who played a key role in the early history of Guernsey. His stewardship helped shape the property into a respected estate within the island’s agricultural community.
The estate later passed to Thomas Andros, a significant island figure during the 17th century, under whose ownership Normanville flourished and the estate’s grounds and gardens were further developed, and so it became a symbol of wealth and prestige.
In more recent history a successful British entrepreneur, became the owner of Normanville. Under his ownership, the estate was lovingly restored and transformed into the luxury home it is today, while preserving the historical elements that make it so unique. His vision ensured that Normanville remained a sanctuary of heritage and modern elegance, blending the best of both worlds.
