WIVETON HALL
Wiveton Hall is one of England's secret architectural gems. It was built in the Jacobean period and finished in 1652 by a prosperous merchant, on monastic land when nearby Blakeney and Cley were thriving ports. In the Edwardian period a wing was added to provide the then essential billiard room, ball room and gun room which have since been converted. It is this self-contained wing, with its own entrances and sunny courtyard garden that is available to rent.
The wing is furnished throughout with family furniture and pictures traditional to a country house. The old ballroom is now a very large drawing room with a grand piano and open fire. The billiard room is now the kitchendining room. The Hall is in a secluded position, surrounded by extensive gardens and set in its own farmland, away from the main coast road.
