"Exceptional Grade II listed manor house with six bedrooms, glorious period character, three acres of gardens and orchard, and the River Tas flowing through the grounds."
The Property
Set within approximately three acres of beautifully varied grounds in the heart of south Norfolk countryside, Krons Manor is an exceptional Grade II listed period home of immense character and historical significance, believed to date in part from the late medieval period with later Tudor and Georgian additions creating the wonderfully evolved residence seen today.
Approached via mature gardens and grounds, the home immediately impresses with its striking timber-framed elevations, leaded windows and prominent chimney stacks; a home that wears its centuries of history with quiet confidence. Internally, the property extends to over 4,000 sq. ft. with a wonderfully atmospheric layout that balances grand entertaining spaces with intimate family rooms, all richly layered with original beams, ancient timbers, brick flooring to the ground floor WC, porch and kitchen, timber floors throughout the remainder of the house, and impressive fireplaces.
The principal reception room is particularly captivating, with high ceilings and a large inglenook fireplace forming the centrepiece of the home. Throughout the house, the architectural evolution of the building is wonderfully apparent, each room offering subtle clues to the manor’s centuries-long story. The generous dining room provides excellent entertaining space in the historic heart of the home whilst the farmhouse kitchen, pantry and adjoining snug create the natural hub of day-to-day family life.
Arranged across the upper floors are six bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite, all enjoying differing perspectives over the gardens and surrounding landscape. The configuration offers excellent flexibility for family living, guest accommodation or those seeking dedicated study or library space.
Externally
Outside, the grounds are a defining feature of Krons Manor and offer an increasingly rare combination of formal gardens, productive land and natural landscape. Carefully designed gardens surround the house with herbaceous borders, terraces and mature planting creating a quintessentially English setting. Beyond lie areas of kitchen garden, together with open lawns and wildlife-rich spaces that create a remarkable sense of peace and privacy.
Most enchanting of all is the River Tas which gently meanders along the bottom of the grounds, bringing both beauty and biodiversity to the setting. The sound and movement of water adds another dimension to life here, reinforcing the manor’s deep connection to the surrounding Norfolk landscape that has shaped the property for centuries.
Krons Manor occupies a privileged position within the sought-after village of Hempnall, a thriving and well-connected village lying conveniently to the south of Norwich. Despite its tranquil setting, the property remains accessible to both the city and the Norfolk coastline, offering an exceptional balance between heritage, countryside living and modern convenience.
A home of considerable warmth, rarity and provenance, Krons Manor represents an opportunity to become custodian of one of south Norfolk’s most atmospheric period houses.
