Rippon Hall East of England
A gorgeous country manor with a swimming pool and hot tub
Think of the perfect country manor – grand entrance hall, billiard room and library, winding staircases to attic bedrooms. Rippon Hall in Norfolk, with its beautiful neo-Tudor heart wrapped in a handsome Victorian upgrade, has all this and more.
As you enter, feel the sense of space, emphasised by high ceilings and large stone mullion windows. Wander into the library and relax in the cheer of the open fireplace. Retire to the drawing room where the Sonos sound system and piano offer a range of musical possibilities, then seek out the billiards room where a full-size snooker table awaits. From the kitchen, equipped with an American fridge freezer and oil fired Aga, step into a pretty courtyard dining area, which is beside the heated swimming pool. Upstairs, 10 delightful bedrooms with private baths or showers, and named after birds you might spot in the gardens, mix antique furniture with contemporary style and comfort.
Outside, meander through the walled garden and formal lawns to wild flower woodlands, walk through the apple tree avenue and discover the beautiful semi-circular brick folly. It’s the perfect setting for picnics and barbecue. When you are ready to rest, sink into the hot tub and enjoy the views.
