This fabulous 18th-century, 500-acre estate in North Norfolk is the most beautiful haven set amidst stunning scenery. Surrounded by rolling hills, lush woodlands, and with a gorgeous lake, this is a little piece of paradise, abundant with wildlife. While the estate itself offers plenty of opportunities for escape and activity, the charming village of Itteringham is just 2 miles away by road and offers a range of amenities including a shop and an appealing pub, serving exceptional food with ingredients source locally. Further afield, and for those looking to sample a little more of the history that Norfolk has to offer, there are the National Trust Estates of Blickling Hall and Felbrigg Hall (5 and 10 miles), while for those seeking coastal air, discover the seaside resort of Cromer with its sand and shingle beach and famous Victorian Pier. For a bit of retail therapy, Norwich is 19 miles.
This magnificent property, which spans the entrance to the park, was originally part of the gatehouse close to the Hall. Built by Thomas Ripley in the 18th century, it is a listed Grade II building that is steeped in charm and character; this exclusive property promises a truly unforgettable stay. The property was built over the original kitchens of the earlier hall. Step inside and be transported to a world of elegant interiors that have been lovingly restored blending timeless features with modern comforts. The spacious and characterful living area invites you to unwind and relax with its period furnishings, an inviting fireplace, and abundant natural light that streams through large windows. The contemporary kitchen is a culinary haven, equipped with all the necessary appliances and a stylish design, ideal for whipping up breakfast for the family or your friends; enjoy the fruits of your labour in the adjacent dining area. Meticulously designed and appointed, the two ground floor bedrooms, both benefiting from en-suite bathrooms offer tranquillity and restfulness after a day of exploring the local attractions. Each room is tastefully decorated with Persian carpets and contemporary and traditional paintings. On the first floor, there is a further cosy, snug TV room, as well as a third bedroom with twin beds and a private shower room.
The property forms part of the entrance gatehouse to the estate, and so is built around a private courtyard garden with garden furniture provided. In addition to this, guests also have exclusive shared access to the full 500-acre estate, as well as a range of activities available for guests to book including canoeing, cycling, archery, clay pigeon shooting, horse riding, sailing adventures, table tennis, croquet, badminton and more.
