Helmingham Hall

**Interior photos are available upon request** Spectacular Grade 1 Listed Hall & Gardens, built in traditional half-timbered style with an overhang to the upper floor both out and inside the courtyard. Since then there have been a number of changes in external appearance, but the basic form of a courtyard manor house still remains, as do many of the original brick chimneys.
In about 1760 a number of exterior changes to Helmingham Hall were made. The Tudor gables, with the exception of those at the corners, were all removed, and the existing half-timbered walls were concealed with the lower walls being covered in brick and the upper ones with tiles. The well-known Regency architect John Nash covered the whole exterior of the house with a coating of cement in about 1800,
The two drawbridges have been pulled up every night since 1510, making Helmingham Hall an island by night, protected by a wide moat.
Exceptional Grade 1 listed gardens with walled gardens, borders, bridges over streams, orchards, rose garden, boxed hedge knot garden, wild flower garden, numerous seats and tunnels.
