Jane Seymour’s Former English Manor Lists for $15.8 Million

An ancient English manor with a celebrity pedigree just hit the market with an asking price of $15.8 million (£12.5 million), Mansion Global reports. British actor Jane Seymour owned—and carefully restored—the 11-bedroom and seven-bathroom countryside dwelling from the mid-1980s until 2007. The abode, known as St. Catherine’s Court, is located near Bath, England.

The 18,987-square-foot home dates back at least as far as 1591 and features elements of both Tudor– and early-Jacobean-style. It’s a protected historic monument, as are its gardens. Also featured on the grounds of the 14-acre estate are its namesake church, a tithe barn, a five-bedroom lodge, a three-bedroom cottage, horse stables, and an orangery.

The Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman star lent out the space to several alt-rock bands in the ’90s; Radiohead recorded their Grammy-winning album OK Computer there, as did The Cure for their album Wild Mood Swings, and the group New Order recorded part of their 2005 album Waiting for the Sirens’ Call there. English singer-songwriter Robbie Williams rented the property in the 2000s and really must’ve taken a shine to it, as he presented the manor as his own dwelling on the first episode of MTV Cribs (he later apologized for the misleading claim).

Intricately carved plaster ceilings, stone-mullioned leaded glass windows, oak floors, coffered ceilings, and large fireplaces are among the home’s grand historic details.

“What I love about St. Catherine’s is that you can live here and pretend you’re a farmer, and you never need to get out of your jeans and boots, which is how we usually live here,” Seymour told AD during a 1991 tour of the residence. “Or you can be extremely grand and dress up for dinner in another part of the house.” The Wedding Crashers actor told AD that she ate in the wood-paneled dining room by candlelight every night. The fireplace-warmed room has since been wired for electricity, but the same ornate floor candelabras remain.
