The
Anmer Hall has ten bedrooms.[1] The interior style has been described to be "a mixture of contemporary designs and well-loved antiques", decorated with gilt picture frames and houseplants.[3] The walls have been reported to be painted in cream colours, while the dining room is a "bold jewel green".[3] The house has an outdoor swimming pool and a tennis court.[3]
The surrounding estate became a scheduled monument in 2003, and includes earthworks marking the sites of buildings from the medieval village of Anmer.[4] The village church, St Mary, lies close to the house, but a short distance away from the modern village. The house is 12 miles (19 kilometres) northeast of King's Lynn, 2 mi (3 km) east of the King's residence at Sandringham and 2 mi (3 km) west of Houghton Hall.[citation needed]

From 1972 to 1990, Anmer Hall was leased to the
The lease to the Everett family was terminated early following the allocation for Anmer Hall for The Prince and Princess of Wales, then known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.[13] The country home was given as a wedding gift to the couple from Elizabeth II.[14][15][16] A £1.5 million refurbishment programme was put in place, paid for by private royal family funds. Renovations included a new roof, new kitchen, the addition of a conservatory, complete internal redecoration; and an extensive tree-planting programme to afford the Duke and Duchess greater privacy.[17][18] The couple also keeps bees to produce honey on the estate.[19]
The then Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their children moved into Anmer Hall in 2015, and used it as their main residence until 2017.
