The Property

The Glamour House - Exclusive use large country house in Norfolk

Inside

• Style: Luxurious hedonism. Every wall and ceiling flaunts vibrant, patterned wallpaper - from stripes to tropical foliage - contrasting against colourful, plump furnishings, emphasising the property's eccentric design.
• Bedrooms and Bathrooms: Nine bedrooms, all exuding style and sophisticated luxury in grand, colourful measures. The main house has six double bedrooms (two of which can be made as twins) and five bathrooms: The Bijou room boasts a Ferrari-red bed, the Green Room is decked in geometric green and cream patterns, the Versace room is striped in black and white with a bed between Roman columns and the fanciful Chinoiserie twin room is inspired by the Orient. The 1950's style Hollywood Room has two double beds, and the fantastical eight-poster bed in the Red Room - which makes two large singles as standard - can be transformed into a luxurious sleep chamber to fit six. In the adjoining cottage there are three bedrooms (a double cabin room, a double balcony bedroom and a four-poster terrace room), a sitting room (with a double sofa-bed) and a bathroom set apart from the party hub.
• For relaxation: As well as the dedicated chill out lounge in the basement, there's oodles of space to kick back in plump sofas by the log fires in the Den and Pavilion room. Beauty treatments, yoga and massage are all available by arrangement.
• For recreation: The entertainment provisions are supreme: a leisure lounge in the basement houses a six-foot cinema screen, sound-proofed studio, dressing up box and chill out room. In addition to the board games and books to keep you occupied, DJ's, musicians, comedians, magicians and cookery classes with a Michelin-star chef can all be organised at the click of your fingers. There is also an exclusive beach hut for use on Old Hunstanton Beach (just 10-minutes drive away), and the likes of bike rides, shooting trips, trout fishing, horse riding, seal watching and kitesurfing can also be organised.
