House with royal connection hits the market
If you’re in the market for a new home with a royal connection, a recently-listed pub-turned-house could be a perfect match, thanks to its prime location on Sandringham Estate.
The Georgian home, formerly a pub called the New Inn, is one of several privately-owned residences within the border of the royal family’s estate, located just across the road from St Mary the Virgin Church, which the Queen traditionally visits for Christmas mass when she is staying at the estate.
Now called the Inn House, the property on Abbey Road has been listed for £700,000 ($NZ 1.31 million) with the Brown & Co agency.
According to the listing, New Inn presents a unique opportunity to own a home on the estate, with the majority of houses owned by the Royal Estate.
Built in 1820, the two-storey home has retained much of its pub charm since its conversion, with additions from the current owner including a garage.
The ground floor boasts a reception hallway with a pitched open ceiling and exposed roof trusses and a sitting room with a wood burning stove, as well as a study, the kitchen and dining room, and a utility and boot room that opens out to the garden through a stable door.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and a bathroom, with the master bedroom including an ensuite and views over the other cottages and pasture on the estate.
