Morley Old Hall is a magnificent, Grade I listed, Elizabethan manor house. It stands in a spectacular secluded position on a garden island of just over half an acre, surrounded by an Anglo Saxon moat and in grounds of 32 acres. The property is surrounded by delightful Norfolk countryside and sits at the end of a long, tree-lined avenue.
Internally, the house has recently been refurbished but with all its period features sensitively retaine The three storey house now boasts extreme comfort and elegance with all modern amenities available. The location of the house ensures that seclusion and privacy is guaranteed and Morley Old Hall provides the perfect setting for family gatherings, re-unions or simply a group of friends to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Wonderful views from all the main rooms look out over rose and herbaceous borders, open fields and unspoilt countryside.
Ownership since 1790 has included Field Marshall The First Lord Ironside (who was Chief of the Imperial General Staff in May 1940 and Commander in Chief of Home Forces during the Second World War); and Mrs Janet Shand Kydd (first wife of Peter Shand Kydd and stepfather of Diana, Princess of Wales). The Hall features in the books 'Beautiful Homes of Britain' and 'Buildings of England', and now provides the perfect setting for family gatherings, reunions or simply groups of friends wishing to relax and enjoy peaceful surroundings.
The house operates on a self catering basis.
The accommodation consists of five double/twin bedded rooms and four bathrooms. All the bedrooms are beautifully furnished and have wonderful views across classic gentle Norfolk countryside.
