The Sandringham Estate in Norfolk has announced the restoration and opening of a Victorian water tower for overnight guest stays. Originally constructed in 1877 by engineer James Mansergh in a neo-Byzantine style, the structure was originally designed to supply fresh water to the estate following instances where King Edward VII and Prince Albert Victor contracted typhoid. King Charles III has officially opened the landmark, which has been transformed into an intimate luxury retreat for up to two guests, specifically marketed as a ~~refuge for couples.~~ boutique romantic retreat. The renovated interior features heritage-inspired tones, reclaimed materials, chandeliers, and historic royal family photographs. The layout includes a kitchen, dining area, and bathroom on the ground floor, a bedroom on the first floor, and a living room with a fireplace on the second floor. Additionally, the terrace provides 360-degree views of the Norfolk countryside. The tower joins other restored estate accommodations, such as The Gardens House, an Edwardian brick home for up to eight people, and The Folly, which accommodates up to six guests. While initial pricing estimates suggested rates starting around 151 euros, recent reports indicate weekly rental prices range between £1,500 and £2,395, with nightly rates starting at £151. Pets are permitted at the accommodation.
