Location
Sutton Court is an English house remodelled by Thomas Henry Wyatt in the 1850s from a manor house built in the 15th and 16th centuries around a 14th-century fortified pele tower and surrounding buildings. The house has been designated as Grade II* listed building and is surrounded by an extensive estate laid out as a ferme ornée, part of which is now the Folly Farm nature reserve.

Sutton Court is located in Stowey, a small, unspoilt village within the Chew Valley. It lies south of Chew Valley Lake and north of the Mendip Hills, approximately 10 miles (16 km) south of Bristol, 13 miles (19 km) west of Bath and 13 miles (19 km) north of the City of Wells.

Many social and sporting activities are shared with neighbouring villages, which include tennis, bridge, cricket, literature and film clubs. The beautiful Chew Valley Lake has bird watching, sailing and fishing facilities, and the rural setting also provides opportunities to ride and hunt. Main line stations are at Bristol Temple Meads, Bristol Parkway and Bath Spa and the property is perfectly placed for swift access to Bristol Airport.
