Katharine and Edward lived there with their three children George Windsor, Earl of St Andrews, Lady Helen Taylor, and Lord Nicholas Windsor for 18 years between 1972 and 1990.
Beaming about the idyllic Norfolk property, in his recent book, A Royal Life, the 86-year-old said: "It was a lovely house, a perfect family home. It was too big really, but it was ideal for three children – it had a lot of space, a lovely garden, and it sits in quite a large park. The children could run around with the ponies or their bicycles. Also, a great many people lived nearby who became friends and were not far from the sea. It had every advantage. I regret ever having left it."
