Anmer Hall, Georgian country house in Anmer, United Kingdom.
Anmer Hall is a two-storey Georgian house built in 1802, with a 13-bay south front refaced in red brick around 1815 and a semicircular porch on two Tuscan columns. Its north front is of rubble carrstone with four 17th-century ogee-headed sash windows, and the house has ten bedrooms.
The Coldham family held the estate from at least 1705; the Georgian house dates from 1802. In 1896 the fraudster Ernest Terah Hooley bought it at auction for £25,000, then sold it at cost to the Prince of Wales in 1898, making it part of the Sandringham Estate. A £1.5 million refurbishment preceded the Waleses' move in 2015.
The house is the private country home of the Prince and Princess of Wales, who moved in in 2015 and used it as their main residence until 2017. The couple keeps bees on the estate to produce honey, and their annual Christmas card has shown the family outside the house.
The house stands 2 miles (3 km) east of Sandringham and 2 miles west of Houghton Hall, 12 miles northeast of King's Lynn. The grounds hold earthworks of the medieval village of Anmer, and the church of St Mary sits close to the house, apart from the modern village. The estate is private and not open to visitors.
The estate became a scheduled monument in 2003 because its grounds contain earthworks marking the buildings of the medieval village of Anmer. The village church of St Mary stands close to the house but at a short distance from the modern village.
