Anmer Hall is a 18th-century building which features 10 bedrooms and plenty of glorious grounds for the children to run and explore.
It was given to Kate and William as a wedding gift from the Queen, and they even lived there full-time for two years from 2015 until 2017, before using it as a countryside bolthole.

The family needs to reside in London during term time as siblings George and Charlotte both attend Thomas's Battersea School.
The family also spent a lot of the coronavirus lockdown at their Norfolk home, presumably soaking up the glorious views and fresh countryside air.
