Morely Old Hall is nestled in a horseshoe of acres of farm land beneath the big open skies of Norfolk. The Hall itself was designed by Sir Jonathan Sedley (an architect to both Henry VII and Henry VIII), started in 1545 and it remained in the Sedley family until 1790s. This traditional Tudor/Elizabethan Hall has distinctive crow hop gables and is also the first house in "Beautiful Homes of Britain". Diana, Princess of Wales was a regular guest. The grounds are steeped in romantic history which invades the senses as you make your way down the tree lined drive. As it bends ever so slightly, and you catch your first glimpse of the ethereal Hall, you'll be rendered breathless. There is a majestic weeping willow tailing into the pond with a pair of romantic black swans. The exterior of the house has not been modified significantly apart from a "Victorian style" orangery that is not visible from the front of the Hall. The Anglo Saxon moat entirely surrounds the Hall which is only accessible via a bridge. The gardens to the rear have been styled informally with a strong colour scheme of blues and purples. There is a yew "Kissing arch" with an urn beneath. Apart form the Hall, there are several Norfolk barns and cottages that have been converted into holiday/event lets. These have all been furnished in a style sympathetic to the countryside and each has an ensuite. The Piggery is a converted farrowing house that is now an entertainment space for parties. It has been decorated in deep greens and navy with wood panelling. There is a bar and 3 French windows onto the Orchard.
