Sheringham Hall

Sheringham Hall is a two-storey country house in Upper Sheringham, Norfolk, featuring Tuscan columns at its entrance and distinctive bay windows throughout. Inside, five main rooms on the ground floor connect through a central corridor with a curved cantilevered staircase topped by a cast iron balustrade.

Construction began in 1817 under the direction of architects Humphry and John Adey Repton, father and son known for landscape design and garden architecture. The builders sourced Gault bricks from Lincolnshire and reclaimed local timber to complete the structure.

The Upcher family shaped this estate and the surrounding landscape for generations, leaving their mark through the house design and grounds. The family crest displayed above the entrance reflects their long-standing connection to the region and local importance.

The house itself remains private, but the surrounding Grade II listed parkland welcomes visitors with well-marked walking paths throughout the grounds. These routes guide you through gardens and woodland areas, suitable for a walk in most weather conditions.

The estate also includes Ivy Lodge gatehouse, designed in the Cottage Orne style, a romantic 19th-century architectural movement emphasizing picturesque charm. The gatehouse displays a blend of red brick on the ground level and pebble-dashed render above, creating a charming entry point to the grounds.
