Ben Rivett, joint head of residential sales at Savills in Norfolk, said: “Originally named Mount Amelia, Ingoldisthorpe Hall is a significant Grade II listed country house in a commanding position.

"The property is a rare find in west Norfolk - with major estates retaining most of the major houses, with both Sandringham and the Le Strange Estate as near neighbours.

"This sets the tone for the elegant and light rooms throughout with the drawing room and family room of particular note - not least for the first glimpse they provide of the exceptional views to the Wash.”

The hall has views across its land and its park features trees including oak, beech and lime and a Cedar of Lebanon at the front of the house.

To the north-west of the house is an area of mature woodland, with pathways to a large dell with banks of rhododendrons and a pond.
