Sandringham Estate in Norfolk is a private royal country estate that includes Sandringham House, Wood Farm, Anmer Hall, and other residences. It is traditionally used as a winter residence and a base for royal family activities, and parts of the estate are sometimes opened to the public through the main house and gardens at specific times of the year. Details you may find useful:
- Main residence: Sandringham House, a historic country house at the heart of the estate.
- Other notable properties: Anmer Hall (a prominent eight-bedroom or ten-bedroom residence on the estate, gifted to the Prince and Princess of Wales; sizes reported vary by source) and Wood Farm, among other estate houses.
- Public access: The estate runs a public-facing component around Sandringham House and its gardens during certain seasons, with visitor facilities that include a museum, gardens, and a farm area.
- Ownership and use: The estate is privately owned by the royal family and is used for official and family engagements, including historically significant royal Christmas gatherings.
- Local geography: The Sandringham area is in the parish of Sandringham, near Dersingham, Norfolk, with a long history dating back to well before the 19th century.
