How Hill House, Thatched cottage and Grade II listed building in Ludham, England.
The large Edwardian house stands on a glacial sand knoll, featuring a traditional thatched roof and roughcast brick construction with gabled bargeboards.
Edward Thomas Boardman, a Norwich architect, designed and built this country retreat in 1904, incorporating elements of Jacobean style architecture.
The How Hill Trust operates the property as an environmental education center, teaching children about nature, reed harvesting, and traditional thatching techniques.
The building contains a paneled hall, original staircase, and sitting room, with a sun parlour addition that was relocated in 1916.
The estate once contained an oak tree planted from a sapling given by Adolf Hitler to Christopher Boardman after his 1936 Olympic sailing victory.
