Beyond the idyllic grounds of the private Kimberley Hall Estate is a treasure trove of scenic trails and rambling hikes. Just 400 metres from your hideaway is the gateway to the Tiffey Trail. Meander along the River Tiffey and soak in the park’s special 500 year-old oak trees. Following this trail will bring you to the medieval market town of Wymondham (3.5 miles) with its magnificent twin-towered abbey founded in 1107, where you can recharge with a hearty pub meal and pint of Norfolk’s finest. Birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts will love trampling the terrain of Mid-Yare National Nature Reserve (20 miles), while younger guests will be itching to wind through the tree-top maze and enjoy the towering slides at BeWILDerwood (24 miles) or the dinosaur-themed adventure park ROARR 11 miles away or Banham Zoo (within 14 miles). Other popular attractions include Foxley Wood, Swanton Morley Waterfalls and the tranquil waterways of the Broads (all within 25 miles). Visit nearby historic Norwich (9 miles) with its ancient cathedral and Norman castle, bustling market and multitude of shops, restaurants, theatres and contemporary art galleries including the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts designed by world-renowned architect Sir Norman Foster with its popular sculpture park trail.
Admire the grand surroundings as you enter the east wing of the historic Queen Anne house, built in 1712 and situated in a beautiful Capability Brown landscape.

After meals, fire up the wood burner in the elegant lounge space and settle in for a cosy night of board games or films on the Smart TV. At the end of the hallway, three delightfully decorated super-king-size zip-and-link bedrooms await; they can be made up as twin rooms on request. Finishing off this historic apartment is an en-suite shower room and a stylish family bathroom.
Enjoy your private enclosed garden with its romantic ornamental fountain and recline in the summerhouse with a glass of wine, or BBQ in the sunshine listening to the trickle of the fountain as you relax and get lost inside a bestselling book. There is private parking for three cars.
