Property details
This once closest pub to Sandringham House is one of the only handful of private-owned homes on the Queen's 20,000-acre estate in north Norfolk, confirms Mirror. It is believed to be ‘a rare opportunity’ to become the Queen’s neighbour and own a ‘substantial detached period dwelling.’ The house is right in the middle of Sandringham House and Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s Anmer.
The kitchen of the house is also well-equipped with an Aga oven, handmade units, an additional LPG gas hob and an adjoining breakfast room area. Along with this, the house also has a cellar that can make a great media room.
The 2,900 sq ft house was built in 1820 and has later brick and flint work extensions, a garage and a workshop. With two hallways, a reception area with a pitched ceiling and exposed roof trusses it is a magnificent area. The house also includes a study, a sitting room with a wood-burning stove, and a dining room with a great view from upstairs.
Thanks to its own driveway and a South-facing Mediterranean style courtyard with a patio terrace, it offers a completely private space to anyone who would live there. What’s more? The garden is fully enclosed and pet-proofed.
Rare opportunity, indeed
Brown&Co described the property as ‘attractive and fascinating’ with a commanding position. The details read:
Opportunities to buy property in this beautiful village are rare with the majority of houses still owned and maintained by the Royal Estate, however, a handful are in private ownership, one of which is the stunning, Inn House.
It is also right across from the St Mary the Virgin church at Flitcham, where the Queen occasionally comes to worship when she’s in the area.
