Cops had been called to the home after reports a body had been found at the Lady's Drove property in Emneth, near Wisbech, just before 7.30am.
Mrs Page lived in her ￡1million property in Banyer Hall with her husband.
The home sits in four acres of land and it was previously featured on the BBC show Escape to the Country.
On the episode viewers were shown the inside revealing "handsome, nice big windows" when it was up for sale six years ago.
A couple wanting to move to Norfolk visited the building - which was presented as the ‘mystery house’.
A post-mortem examination was carried out yesterday, with provisional results showing the cause of death as gunshot wounds to the torso.
